Trump Signs Order to Expand Lower-Tariff Beef Imports
President Donald Trump signed an order to temporarily increase lower-tariff lean beef imports by 300,000 metric tons. The move aims to address high consumer prices but has faced criticism from U.S. ranchers.
United States President Donald Trump signed an order on Wednesday morning expanding low-tariff beef imports by 300,000 metric tons to curb high domestic prices. The 90-day measure starting September 1 drew immediate pushback from agricultural groups citing risks to domestic producers. Consumers across the country faced record-high beef prices this year after drought and wildfires pushed cattle supplies to a 75-year low.
