Nov. 14 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump lowered but did not eliminate reciprocal tariffs and beef, fruits, coffee and other foods in an effort to lower food prices for consumers.
The president announced the reduced tariffs a day after securing trade agreements with Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador and Guatemala, although a 15% tariff remains in effect for Ecuador, according to The Hill.
"Today's order follows the significant progress the president has made in securing more reciprocal terms for our bilateral trade relationships," the White House announced Friday in a news release.
"President Trump's deals have had and will continue to have broad impacts on domestic production and the economy as a whole, including enhanced market access for our agriculture exporters."
