Trump rolls back tariffs on dozens of food products

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order allowing a range of food products, including coffee, bananas and beef, to escape his sweeping tariffs.

The move comes as his administration faces mounting pressure over rising prices. While Trump previously downplayed concerns about the cost of living, he has focused on the issue since his Republican Party's poor performance in last week's elections.

These goods, the Trump administration said on Friday, cannot be produced in sufficient quantities domestically.
