How food aid made it hard for Haiti to produce its own
As the U.S. sees new tariffs, we look at how they can make or break an economy.

That made it expensive for Haitians to eat food grown domestically, leading to dependence on foreign aid. Special correspondent Marcia Biggs and videographer Eric O'Connor report.
