US EditionU.S. to remove tariffs on some products from Ecuador, Argentina, Guatemala and El Salvador
- On Nov. 13, 2025, the White House released framework agreements committing the United States to drop reciprocal tariffs on certain exports from Argentina, Ecuador, Guatemala and El Salvador to lower grocery costs.
- With coffee up 18.9% in the September CPI, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and officials framed tariff adjustments as efforts to lower costs for American consumers.
- The frameworks exempt certain goods that the U.S. cannot make, keeping tariffs at 10% for Guatemala, El Salvador and Argentina and 15% for Ecuador while removing reciprocal tariffs on qualifying exports like Ecuadorian coffee and bananas.
- The administration says the deals will be signed within two weeks and expects lower prices for coffee, bananas and other foodstuffs with U.S. retailers passing savings to American consumers.
- Officials signaled the deals fit into wider trade talks and possible future agreements, aiming to expand U.S. firms' access with Argentina opening beef and poultry markets while Brazil faces a 50% tariff.

US and Argentina set framework for reciprocal trade and investment agreement
