US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order allowing several food products, including coffee, bananas and beef, to avoid his sweeping tariffs.
The move comes as his administration faces increasing pressure over rising prices. While Trump previously played down concerns about the cost of living, he has focused on the issue since his Republican party’s poor performance in last week’s elections.
The dozens of products on the White House exemption list include everything from avocados and tomatoes to coconuts and mangoes.
The Trump administration said on Friday that these goods cannot be produced domestically in sufficient quantities.
