The President has thus determined that certain agricultural products shall no longer be subject to the reciprocal tariffs. Some of these products include:
coffee and tea;
tropical fruits and fruit juices;
cocoa and spices;
bananas, oranges, and tomatoes;
beef
The action taken is to reduce the inflated cost of these items due to the tariff. The President has also repeatedly claimed that tariffs do not cause inflation.
You forgot to post this part that came before yhe first part of your posting:
“Given the substantial progress in reciprocal trade negotiations—including the conclusion of 9 framework deals, 2 final agreements on reciprocal trade, and 2 investment agreements—current domestic demand for certain products, and current domestic capacity to produce certain products, among other things, President Trump has now determined that it is necessary and appropriate to further modify the scope of the reciprocal tariffs. Specifically, certain qualifying agricultural products will no longer be subject to those tariffs, such as certain food not grown in the United States.
Today’s Order follows the significant progress the President has made in securing more reciprocal terms for our bilateral trade relationships. President Trump’s deals have had and will continue to have broad impacts on domestic production and the economy as a whole, including enhanced market access for our agriculture exporters.
For example, many of the announced trade deals and ongoing negotiations involve countries that produce substantial volumes of agricultural products that are not grown or produced in sufficient quantities in the United States.”
