– Analysts warn ground beef could hit $10 a pound by late 2026.
– Trump has scrapped some tariffs, launched an investigation into meat packers, and boosted beef imports from Argentina.
– At the same time, his team blames Biden-era climate policies and even migrants—claims economists largely dispute
– Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed that migrants were bringing “sick cows” across the border.
