Trump removes some tariffs hoping to lower grocery prices

Download

President Trump has removed some tariffs on food imports amid concerns of rising prices. In a bid to lower the prices of some grocery items, the president ended U-S tariffs on beef, coffee, tropical fruits, and a wide range of other supermarket staples. It’s a dramatic reversal from a tariff policy that he’s repeatedly claimed didn’t make items more expensive for American consumers. But Donald Trump admitted to reporters that, “in some cases,” tariffs may increase prices. It remains to be seen if or by how much prices are affected by the move.
