President Trump rolled back tariffs on beef, coffee and dozens of other agricultural and food products as he seeks to address Americans’ concerns about the cost of living.

The WSJ’s Gavin Bade writes that Trump issued an executive order modifying the reciprocal tariffs he imposed on virtually every trading partner in August, exempting more than a hundred common food items including fruits, nuts and spices.

The newly exempted products on Friday, however, include many products commonly produced in the U.S.—such as beef, which has risen to record prices in recent months.

The move is part of a shift from the administration to water down some of its so-called reciprocal tariffs in the face of both price increases for consumers and legal uncertainty following a high-stakes Supreme Court hearing this month.

In their place, the administration has expanded other tariffs on individual industries like steel, aluminum and automobiles based on more established national security law.

Tesla wants its American cars to be built without any Chinese parts.

The WSJ’s Raffaele Huang and Yoko Kubota report that the electric-vehicle maker decided earlier this year to stop using China-based suppliers for cars made in the U.S.

The strategy is the latest example of how trade and geopolitical tensions are driving a decoupling of the world’s two largest economies and redrawing global supply chains. The auto industry has been hit particularly hard because of the global nature of its supply chains and business.

Many American companies are seeking to exclude China-made components or manufacture outside of China. In turn, Chinese technology companies are erasing American components and technology from their supply chains.

Tesla and its suppliers have already replaced some China-made components with parts made elsewhere. The automaker is aiming to switch all other components to those made outside of China in the next year or two.

President Trump’s tariffs are challenging America’s addiction to cheap stuff.

Cheap goods from China and other countries have flooded the U.S. over the past several decades. Much of the clothing, homeware, tools and toys that Americans buy is now so inexpensive that it can be purchased almost without thinking.

The WSJ’s Rachel Wolfe reports that Trump has implied that Americans should just buy less in response to criticism that tariffs are making goods more expensive. That would be a major departure from the direction the country has gone. While corporations so far have not passed on the full impact of tariffs, few economists believe that will last as inflation ticks up.

Still, psychologists and analysts of consumer behavior say it will take a prolonged period of higher prices and lower availability, along with a broader shift in Americans’ collective mindset, for shopping habits to change for good.
