NEW YORK, Nov 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday removed his 40% tariffs on Brazilian food products, including beef, coffee, cocoa and fruits that were imposed in July to punish Brazil over the prosecution of its former president, Trump ally Jair Bolsonaro.

The move follows a similar order by the administration last Friday to remove tariffs on several agricultural products from other countries as the White House makes a U-turn on some tariffs that have INCREASED THE COST OF FOOD in the United States.

U.S. retail coffee prices rose as much as 40% this year due to the tariffs and other market factors such as weather-induced production shortfalls.

Rising food prices are a major factor behind Trump's declining approval ratings, which have fallen to their lowest since his return to power, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

1. I'll bet prices only drop a portion of what they went up

Profits be profits , children.

The price gouging will continue just like after Covid chaos was over but prices didn't really drop.

2. He's such a brilliant economist/businessman.

At this rate it won't be a recession but a damn depression that this idiot will provoke.
