Faced with issues with rising beef prices, trump is allowing the import of 300,000 metric tons of beef without tariffs and at 25% below market price. For reference total US beef consumption is roughly 12 million metric tons
Yes, it’s a tacit admission that tariffs raise prices. Yes, he’s undercutting the ranchers that support him.
No country of origin is mentioned for the beef, but it’s probably Argentina.
