Promoting the National Defense by Ensuring an Adequate Supply of Elemental Phosphorus and Glyphosate-Based Herbicides
This Presidential Action invokes the Defense Production Act to declare elemental phosphorus and glyphosate-based herbicides critical materials for national defense and food supply security, citing limited domestic production capacity and vulnerability to foreign reliance.
The action delegates authority to the Secretary of Agriculture, in consultation with the Secretary of War, to set nationwide priorities and allocate necessary materials, services, and facilities to ensure a continued and adequate domestic supply, specifically directing the Secretary to safeguard the corporate viability of domestic producers.
Ensuring Affordable Beef for the American Consumer
This proclamation, issued by the President on February 6, 2026, temporarily increases the in-quota quantity for certain beef imports, specifically lean beef trimmings, by 80,000 metric tons for the calendar year 2026.
The action is taken under Section 404 of the URAA to combat record-high ground beef prices resulting from a contracting domestic cattle herd, which was impacted by severe regional droughts, wildfire effects, and restrictions on Mexican calf imports.
The entire increased quota is specifically allocated to Argentina and will be administered in four quarterly, first-come, first-served tranches to restore supply and ensure affordable beef prices for American consumers.
Stopping Wall Street from Competing with Main Street Homebuyers
This Presidential Action, issued under the authority vested in the President, aims to stop large Wall Street institutional investors from outcompeting American families for single-family homes, citing high inflation and interest rates as barriers to the American dream of homeownership.
The order directs several federal agencies, including the Departments of the Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, and Veterans Affairs, to issue guidance preventing the facilitated purchase or disposal of single-family homes to large institutional investors, promoting sales instead to owner-occupants.
Furthermore, it mandates reviews for anti-competitive effects in local markets and calls for legislative recommendations to codify this policy permanently.

To Implement the United States-Israel Agreenent on Trade in Agricultural Products and for Other Purposes
This Presidential Action modifies the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) primarily to extend, through December 31, 2026, the duty-free access for specified quantities of certain agricultural products from Israel, consistent with the ongoing United States-Israel Free Trade Area (USIFTA) agreements.
The proclamation also enacts critical technical modifications, rectifying errors found in implementation notices for the USIFTA, the United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (USSFTA), and the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement (USKFTA), alongside updating cross-references affected by recent reciprocal tariff orders related to the European Union.
INCREASING MEDICAL MARIJUANA AND CANNABIDIOL RESEARCH
This Presidential Action establishes that Americans deserve better access to medical research on marijuana and cannabidiol (CBD) to address conditions like chronic pain, noting that decades of restrictive federal policy have limited necessary investigations.
The order directs the Attorney General to immediately complete the process of rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), reflecting the Department of Health and Human Services' recommendation that it has accepted medical use.
Furthermore, the action mandates collaboration with Congress to clarify the regulation of hemp-derived cannabinoid products, including setting THC limits, while tasking HHS and other agencies to develop research models using real-world evidence to improve patient guidance and product safeguards.
Addressing Security Risks from Price Fixing and Anti-Competitive Behavior in the Food Supply Chain
This Presidential Action establishes Food Supply Chain Security Task Forces within the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate anti-competitive behavior, including price fixing, and assess risks posed by foreign control over U.S. food-related industries.
The initiative aims to ensure an affordable and secure food supply by empowering these agencies to take necessary enforcement actions, initiate criminal proceedings if appropriate, and brief Congress on progress and potential legislative recommendations within 180 and 365 days of issuance.
Modifying the Scope of Tariffs on the Government of Brazil
This Presidential Action modifies the scope of the additional 40 percent *ad valorem* duty rate previously imposed on certain articles from Brazil under Executive Order 14323 by exempting specific agricultural imports.
The decision reflects progress made during ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and the Government of Brazil concerning the national emergency declared in the prior order.
The action directs the Department of State to continue monitoring the situation and formally amends the tariff schedule effective for goods entered on or after November 13, 2025.
