Eggs are avian flu related, Trump never could have done anything to effect the supply problem and he lied during the campaign when he said he'd bring egg prices down. And his appointees to not just cabinet positions in HHS and Agriculture won't be implementing programs to address the problem adequately either.
The tariffs on Columbia will increase the overall price of all coffee, not just Colombian beans. And coffee prices will continue to increase in the future due to climate change impacts on coffee growing regions.
If he implements the threatened tariffs on Canada, yes, bacon prices will be affected - lots and lots of hogs cross the border to slaughterhouses here. And, given that China owns the Smithfield brand, including grow out and processing facilities in the USA, tariffs on China will effect meat prices too.
All that being said - the increase in grocery prices *after* covid supply chain problems were resolved is primarily price gouging by corporate food producers, processors and distributors. There aren't mechanisms in USA law to control price gouging - some laws are in place to penalize price gouging in declared disaster areas, but not general price controls. And there won't be any implemented by the current GOP controlled House, Senate or Executive branch.
