President Donald Trump removed tariffs on beef, coffee, and tropical fruits to address high consumer prices amid criticism of his trade policies.

- Legal analysts note that former Rep. Pete King predicted the Supreme Court will uphold most tariffs but may limit national‑security claims, citing Canada and Switzerland as unlikely threats.
