On Friday, President Donald Trump shared a proposal to eliminate tariffs<\/a> on items like bananas, beef, and coffee in an attempt to slow the grocery inflation that he’s recently denied is even happening<\/a>.\"A<\/p>\n

“We just did a little bit of a rollback on some foods like coffee,\u201d Trump said<\/a> a few hours after the announcement. He admitted that the tariffs have “in some cases” raised consumer prices, but he maintained that “to a large extent they\u2019ve been borne by other countries.”<\/p>\n

You probably already know this, but that’s not how tariffs work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And others have pointed out that MAGA has long denied that tariffs raise prices, so it feels a little off to see them celebrate the idea of prices coming down if tariffs get reversed.\"FunnyBack in April (which feels like a hundred years ago), I spoke with Bankrate Senior Economic Analyst Mark Hamrick<\/a> to learn what to expect from tariffs. He cautioned that prices tend to shoot up like they’re on an elevator, but when or if they start to come back down, they move more slowly like they’re taking the stairs. He said, “There’s more elasticity with prices going up than there tends to be both in speed and magnitude going down. We see that all the time, whether it’s gasoline prices or other things.”\"A<\/p>\n

While some items like bananas could see prices tumble back down without the tariffs, it may not work across the board. Experts have warned that for some items like coffee, global shortages and supply chain issues mean that easing tariffs now may have little effect<\/a> on the prices we pay at the grocery store.\"Person<\/p>\n
