Trump’s answer to soaring beef prices: import frozen foreign trimmings that could have been in storage for years—and grind them into American burgers.
Trump’s answer to soaring beef prices: import frozen foreign trimmings that could have been in storage for years—and grind them into American burgers.
President Trump on Friday signed two executive orders aimed at supporting American cattle ranchers and addressing record-high beef prices. The actions serve partly to pacify domestic meat producers who were angered by a recent administration plan to pause tariffs on foreign beef imports. The order allows ranchers to bypass major meatpacking monopolies and makes it easier for them to process and sell their own meat directly to consumers. Politico's Grace Yarrow joins LiveNOW's Andy Mac to discuss.

President Trump dismissed the ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran by labeling it a "military conflict" rather than a "war," a designation he downplayed as "small potatoes" during an Oval Office event on Friday. This pivot comes just ahead of the Republican National Committee's first-ever midterm convention, scheduled for next week in Dallas, Texas. The administration is hoping to rally voters ahead of the midterms, despite growing frustration over the Iran conflict and the domestic economy. Trump signed an executive order on beef on Friday, designed to lower grocery prices and court agricultural voters by protecting cattle herds from gray wolves and investigating livestock market competition.

Republicans are warning President Donald Trump that his decision to flood supermarkets with foreign ground beef is hurting a key group in his base as the midterm elections near their climax. Voters in beef-industry-heavy states, like South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas, supported Trump in his bid for a second term. Now, lawmakers from those states say his decision to lift tariffs on hundreds of thousands of tons of foreign beef is putting the very people who elected him in a bind. Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., who is running for re-election, said his voters in South Dakota "love the president," and view him like a member of the family, but the beef import order feels like the administration "pulled the rug right out from underneath" them.
President Trump is set to sign an executive order Friday related to the beef industry, according to the White House. Though no further details were shared. Trump announced last month that the U.S. would pause higher tariffs on ground beef imports for 90 days, allowing up to 300,000 metric tons to enter the country without the higher “out-of-quota” tariff rate. Trump said the move would help lower costs for consumers while giving the administration time to rebuild the U.S. cattle herd and support ranchers. The plan received scrutiny from Republicans and ranchers alike. #trump #tariffs #beef

Rep. Troy Downing, a Montana Republican, joins NewsNation to discuss the U.S. boosting beef imports for 90 days and how that is adversely impacting American farmers. "The Hill on NewsNation" combines the power of two trusted news sources to define today's most-pressing issues, and question Washington's power brokers on what matters most to the people they serve and what matters most to Americans.
Last week, President Trump announced a new plan aimed at cutting record beef prices but importing more meat from Argentina. The plan was met with widespread criticism from U.S. ranchers. Many farming groups and organizations say the plan will hurt ranchers and feedlot operators who have recently enjoyed rare profitable years. Trump says the new plan will bring down costs for consumers, but many are also skeptical that the move will bring beef costs meaningfully down. On “Prove it! With Batya,” John Boyd Jr., the founder of the National Black Farmers Association, and NewsNation’s Batya Ungar-Sargon debate whether Trump’s new beef plan will lead to lower prices or just hurt U.S. ranchers. "Prove It with Batya!" puts the hottest takes…
