Affordability has become the new mantra from both parties in Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump addressed food prices before leaving Florida last night. “Prices are coming down very substantially on groceries; they’re already much lower than they were in the last administration,” said Trump. Trump signed an executive order on Friday that exempts numerous food imports from high tariffs. The list includes everything from coffee to bananas. The White House is also dropping a ten percent tariff on Argentine beef imports. In addition, 80,000 metric tons of Argentine beef can be imported duty-free. That’s up from 20,000 tons before Friday’s announcement.
