We're not. I never said we were. We're paying tariffs on the agricultural goods that we import.

Being net exporters doesn't mean we import nothing.

It means we export more than we import.

Just because we export $101 worth of corn doesn't mean we aren't paying tariffs on $100 of coffee and bananas we import. But the corn producers might raise their prices anyway, because everything else going up provides cover for it.
