Florida

Florida's trade vulnerability spans from Cape Canaveral to the Everglades. The state's aerospace corridor — SpaceX, Blue Origin, L3Harris, Lockheed Martin — depends on globally-sourced components for rockets, satellites, and defense systems. Retaliatory tariffs from the EU on aircraft parts directly threaten Florida's aerospace exports. The once-dominant citrus industry, already battered by greening disease, now faces retaliatory tariffs from key export markets; Florida orange juice exports to the EU and China are being priced out by Brazilian competitors. PortMiami and Port Everglades serve as America's gateway to Latin America — tariffs on goods transiting these ports disrupt billions in re-export trade. Florida's massive tourism economy takes indirect hits as retaliatory trade tensions reduce international visitor spending. The state's phosphate mining industry (Florida produces 75% of US phosphate) faces tariffs on mining equipment imports while retaliatory measures target fertilizer exports. Medical device manufacturing around the I-4 corridor — Medtronic, Stryker, Zimmer Biomet — imports precision components now subject to duties.
