I googled it and found this.

I'm curious as to what we'd actually need to import from Europe.
I found this: https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/europe/european-union#:~:text=U.S.%20total%20imports%20(general)%20of,vegetable%20oils%20(%241.3%20billion).
Now, we also have to keep in mind that even if we don't import the goods ourselves, a global shortage in supply will affect the price worldwide. Even if, for example, grain from Ukraine isn't making it to Europe, that doesn't make our supplies domestically short. However, it puts pressure on our supplies because there is a global demand and that will result in increased prices for us, as well.
