President Trump on Friday ordered carveouts for specific items under his tariff policies in an attempt to stabilize food prices.
The president signed an executive order to exempt specific agricultural products and other food goods from reciprocal tariffs, effective immediately.
The broad list include beef products, beans, nuts, produce like tomatoes and bananas, tea, coffee and spices.
“We just did a little bit of a rollback on some foods like coffee,” President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
President Trump acknowledged Friday that his tariff policies have translated to increased costs for American consumers.
“I say they may, in some cases," he said.
“But to a large extent they’ve been borne by other countries,” he said.
The White House said the original tariff rates
