意大利面，她吃不起了……

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. government plans to impose tariffs of up to 107% on 13 EU pasta companies, including Rummo, starting January, which could significantly impact the gluten-free pasta market and Italian pasta exports to the U.S. [3][5] Group 1: Impact on Consumers - The impending tariffs are causing anxiety among consumers, particularly those with dietary restrictions, as prices for gluten-free pasta are expected to double, potentially driving brands like Rummo out of the U.S. market [3][5] - Consumers are reacting by stockpiling products, indicating a fear of scarcity in the market [3]. Group 2: Impact on the Italian Pasta Industry - The Italian pasta industry, which exports over $4.6 billion annually, could see its exports to the U.S. drop to nearly zero if the tariffs are implemented [5]. - Coldiretti, a major Italian agricultural organization, warns that the tariffs would erase years of growth and investment in the supply chain [5]. Group 3: EU's Response and Market Dynamics - The EU is preparing a tariff exemption list that includes pasta, aiming to negotiate with the U.S. to mitigate the impact of the tariffs [7]. - A report from the London School of Economics indicates that EU pasta prices in the U.S. are already 25% to 30% higher than in Europe, suggesting that these products are not being sold at unfairly low prices [7]. Group 4: Political Implications - The tariffs appear to be more of a political maneuver rather than a calculated economic strategy, aimed at demonstrating U.S. political strength and creating a "shock effect" [9]. - The actions against pasta serve as a warning to all industries that they could be targeted under the current U.S. trade policies [9].
