President Donald Trump on Friday exempted key agricultural
imports
like coffee, cocoa, bananas and certain beef products from his
higher
tariff rates.
The move comes as Trump faces political blowback for high prices
at
U.S. grocery stores. Some distributors of beef, coffee,
chocolate and
other common food items have raised prices as TrumprCOs tariffs
took
hold this year, adding to pressure on household budgets created
by
decades-high inflation in recent years.
TrumprCOs action Friday also exempts a range of fruits including
tomatoes, avocados, coconuts, oranges and pineapples. Along with
coffee, the tariff reductions extend to black and green tea, and
spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
The move marks a reversal for Trump, who has insisted tariffs
are
necessary to protect U.S. businesses and workers. He has
contended
U.S. consumers will not ultimately pay for the higher duties.

Who would of thought. That the consumer pays the bills.
I see Epstein is back too. Very good.
