Has anyone experienced the effects of twitlers tariffs yet?

Today I wanted to buy oranges and all they had were mandarin oranges not navel ones. Went to three stores and finally found navel ones that were priced than usual. I asked the produce manager and he said there is a problem with their supplier who is having trouble importing oranges fir the first time ever. I asked if it was because of tariffs and he said yes he’s seeing it’s getting harder to import from other countries lately.

I live in FL, so citrus is almost always local. I've noticed other produce prices rise, however.
