Trump Signs Executive Order Rolling Back Tariffs on Coffee, Beef, Bananas, and Dozens of Foods

On November 14, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order exempting key agricultural imports from higher tariff rates — including coffee, cocoa, bananas, beef, tomatoes, tea, fruit juice, spices, and certain fertilizers. The move came amid political pressure over record-high grocery prices: ground roast coffee hit $8.41/lb (up 33%) and uncooked beef rose 12–18% year-over-year. Analysts warned rollback alone would not quickly lower retail prices.
