President Trump is making headlines around the globe after his administration rolled out a sweeping number of tariffs for different countries. This has given rise to a new kind of trade war that not many saw coming.
No one was spared, not even billionaires who are now fighting over what their next course of action would be. MrBeast, who is the world’s most followed YouTuber, is finally breaking his silence on the matter, and he’s got plenty to say about Trump’s controversial actions on imports.
Let’s put all the jokes on one side and try to understand the matter in more detail right now. He’s definitely very influential among the youth. Some might not like that fact, but the stats don’t lie.
Recently, MrBeast shared his thoughts on the X app, reminding many that he’s also a chocolatier whose Feastables are adored. He strongly feels that the latest tariffs don’t provide enough incentives for firms to shift their manufacturing to the US.
It’s all very ironic because the latest tariffs make it so much cheaper to produce chocolate bars sold around the globe, but not in the US. This is because other nations don’t have this 20% tax rule in place.
At the moment, his Feastables are getting manufactured in both America and Peru. However, the main ingredient, which is Cocoa, is sourced globally, and therefore he claims to be paying farmers' wages.
If the brand starts importing materials into America, produces it in the US, and then ships the final product for sale around the world, it’s going to encounter a huge amount of financial loss. So as the firm says, the company could just as well produce any chocolate bar sold abroad in the Peru factory to prevent these new tariffs.
To keep it simple, he knows really well that Trump’s tariff plans aren’t shortsighted. The reason why countries take part in trade is that not all crops grow everywhere. So that, in essence, means that companies like Feastables will now be forced to source raw materials from other countries.
MrBeast says he takes pride in paying farmers a living income and embarking on fair trade practices for sourcing the best beans and more. He was spending a lot of funds on cocoa as it is, and now this arising randomly was a brutal hit. However, he’s staying optimistic and hopes to figure things out.
He did empathize more with small-scale businesses who might not be able to adapt as easily to the competition and price hike as bigger and more popular names.
