The White House Will Free The Tariff Of Goods To Lower Food Prices

JAKARTA - The administration of US President Donald Trump plans to waive tariffs for a number of goods categories to lower domestic food prices.

As reported by ANTARA from Sputnik-OANA, Friday, November 14, the change will apply to a number of reciprocal rates announced by the president in April, including tariffs on goods from countries that have not signed a trade agreement with Washington.

The report states that beef and oranges are expected to be included in the exception.
