I would love to hear the plan on how the US can be a net exporter of coffee with, say, Indonesia (32% tariff). Perhaps we can take the funds from the tariffs and build mass greenhouses?

Why do you think the plan is to export every single good? The calculation is clearly on the total import/export balance.

We do not have to be net exporters of coffee - Indonesia can buy US cars, corn and wheat for example to balance trade.
