A pivot in the trade playbook: Why Donald Trump just cut tariffs on beef, coffee and bananas — and what it signals

When a U.S. President who spent much of the year rolling out sweeping tariffs suddenly announces a reversal on staples like beef, coffee and bananas, it’s a signal worth unpacking. Over the weekend the Trump administration dropped duties on more than 200 food-imports — including beef, coffee, bananas and orange juice.

Our Clients

What People Say

The biggest challenge for us was understanding global demand for our product. We needed to find the easiest path to global markets. Dearin & Associates gave us the insights and data to direct our international strategy, identify the huge opportunity for our product globally and enter the United States.

Anthony Harris, Forcite Helmet Systems

We didn't really have an international strategy and were focused on too many markets. Dearin & Associates helped us identify Japan as the key market for us. We're excited and energized at the opportunities in international markets, which are probably 10 times the size of our domestic market.

Gordon Irons, Enretech

Knowing what to focus on to achieve growth was our biggest challenge. Working with Dearin & Associates gave us the clarity to build an international strategy and execute it. Before, we were overwhelmed but now we're excited and confident at the opportunities that await us.
