Boeuf, café, bananes: Trump retire une partie de ses droits de douane
"I have determined that certain agricultural products should not be subject to the reciprocal tariffs" put in place in April, the US president explains in the decree.
The list includes products that the United States cannot grow, or can grow in too small a quantity relative to its needs, such as coffee, tea, bananas and other exotic fruits, or even pine nuts.
But there are also pieces of beef, even though the price of this meat has reached record highs in the country.
In April, the US president imposed so-called "reciprocal" tariffs of at least 10% on most products entering the United States in the name of reducing the country's trade deficit and supporting local production.
These taxes even covered foodstuffs that could not be grown on American soil.
Since a resounding defeat in local elections, the Republican majority has put the cost of living issue back at the top of its priorities.
Donald Trump was re-elected on a promise to improve the purchasing power of Americans.
The White House this week highlighted measures taken to lower the prices of essential goods such as gasoline and eggs, as well as the announcement of an agreement to reduce the prices of certain weight-loss medications.
