Not only eggs: These foods will cost more thanks to Trump’s tariffs
Confusion reigns after Donald Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ round of global tariffs with many now on hold.

Today, President Donald Trump’s administration granted exclusions from steep reciprocal tariffs to smartphones, computers and some other electronics imported largely from China, providing a big break to tech companies like Apple that rely on imported products.
This is the latest chapter in a series of u-turns from the administration with tariffs being implemented, then being put on hold as a general sense of confusion reigns.

Donald Trump’s tariffs have the potential to significantly impact the prices of various food items, primarily due to their effects on international trade and supply chains.
A large portion of the fresh fruits and vegetables consumed in the U.S. are imported, particularly from Mexico. Tariffs on these imports would directly increase their cost even produce grown within the U.S. could see price increases due to raised costs of imported fertilizers, and other agriculture necessities.
Ten foods that could rise should tariffs be implemented
Avocados
Beef
Beer
