How a Wisconsin bean supplier found itself caught in the middle of Trump's trade battle with Europe
A seventh-generation Wisconsin kidney bean processor and supplier recently became an unexpected victim of the Trump administration's trade spat with Europe, a major trading partner.
The 28-nation European Union imposed tariffs on about 2.8 billion euros (over $3 billion) worth of U.S. products, effective June 20. Kidney beans, along with bourbon, peanut butter, cranberries and orange juice are also on the list.
Ahead of a June 20deadline, Chippewa Valley Bean Company (CV Bean) sent an order of kidney beans to a British client, confirming delivery on June 18. Nevertheless, documents shown to CNBC by CV Bean reveal that the shipment was hit with a UK retaliatory tax two days early.
