Representatives Biggs, Gonzales, Ciscomani, and Crane warned the tariff could cost 50,000 jobs and burden struggling families.
"This is an opportunity for President Trump to do what he does best: make a deal. A fair agreement that strengthens American businesses, protects American jobs, and keeps food prices low is within reach," the lawmakers wrote.
On the other side of the issue is the Florida Tomato Exchange and tomato farmers in the Sunshine State.
The group representing Florida tomato farmers says this tariff is necessary to help U.S. farmers catch up to what they call "unfairly priced Mexican imports."
"There is a substantial record of abusive pricing and quality issues that have disadvantaged U.S. growers — especially those in Florida and the Southeast," the organization stated.
For shoppers, this could mean higher prices at the grocery store.
