Trump rolls back food tariffs
Shafaq News – Washington
On Saturday, US President Donald Trump reversed tariffs on more than 200 food imports, including coffee, beef, bananas and orange juice, after months of rising grocery prices.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said the rollback took effect retroactively at midnight Thursday and was meant to ease pressure on consumers.
The move follows a surge in food costs triggered earlier this year when Trump imposed a 10% base tariff on all imports, along with additional duties that varied by state. According to the White House, the tariff package was a core part of his "inflation-neutral" trade strategy.

Reacting to the decision, House Ways and Means Committee Democrat Richard Neal said the administration is now “putting out a fire it started,” arguing that Trump’s trade war drove up prices and contributed to months of manufacturing contraction.
