Some in MAGA world are celebrating President Donald Trump’s decision to slash tariffs on food — levies that he put in place just months ago.

Trump first implemented a broad range of tariffs on food products in April, when he announced his so-called “Liberation Day” - reciprocal levies on dozens of nations.

At the time, the White House said that the U.S. cannot “long survive if it cannot produce its own food.”.

But, on Friday, Trump signed an executive order removing tariffs from more than 200 agricultural staples, including beef, coffee, orange juice and bananas.

“The Trump Administration has signed an Executive Order that eliminates tariffs on Steaks,” Ian Jaeger, a self-described political commentator with 340,000 followers wrote on X.
