Peru says new US tariff exemption includes about 100 agricultural export products

LIMA (Reuters) -Peru’s Economy Minister Teresa Mera said on Monday that a new U.S. tariff exemption includes more than 100 products from the Andean country’s agricultural export basket.

U.S. President Donald Trump last week rolled back tariffs on more than 200 food products, including such staples as coffee, beef, bananas and orange juice, in the face of growing angst among American consumers about the high cost of groceries.
