Is this America first? How does allowing foreign imports of beef help American cattle ranchers when it will drive down the price they are able to sell their products at?

Nope, it's Trump first. Trump thinks the Argentine president is his sort of guy, mostly because he saw a video with a chainsaw.

Trump really doesn't put the effort in to understanding issues.
 
You were warned but too many people chose to believe the white racist narrative about Harris. So America must now live with the conequences of that decision.
 
Yeah...he has other people do it for him.
Yeah, he does.

Like on the Ukraine War issue. (What Ukraine War I hear you say, Trump ended that over a year ago I hear you say)

He's pro-Putin one day, pro-Ukraine the next. His policy at any point in time is based on who he last spoke to.

Even when people explain it to him, he still DOESN'T UNDERSTAND the issues. He's still in that moment "oh yeah, that makes sense" then the next day to the complete opposite "oh, yeah, that makes sense"

That's what happens when you put someone like Trump who can't even cope with his OWN ******* MEETING, says they're boring and has to "close his eyes" (we call it sleeping you stupid ******* president), in charge.

It all goes to hell because he cannot understand SHIT.

Funny how you fucktards didn't have an issue with the Biden administration trying to lift bans on beef imports from Paraguay.

It is fine with me. The quota was set over 25 years ago as part of GATT. But, now we have the smallest cattle herds domestically in about 74 years, due to drought and labor shortage, along with rising costs. If not profitable for US Big Farma to produce (even though subsidized by US Government) for whatever reason, maybe Argentinian beef is necessary to fill the gap of demand. I do not plan to cut back on beef.

/-----/ Libtards complain about high grocery prices and complain when Trump tries to lower them.

Hey your desperate moment by moment search to find something to be offended over or complain about with the annoying orange finally hit on something legitimate. Congratulations.

Perhaps they should have managed their herds better and not drive the price up in the first place

So TRUMP does something to lower beef prices and democrats whine..
The main group representing American cattle ranchers has said the increase in imports is a "misguided effort" and will damage the "livelihoods of American cattlemen and women, while doing little to impact the price consumers are paying at the grocery store."

In a statement in October, when plans for expanding imports were first reported, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association said it "cannot stand behind the President while he undercuts the future of family farmers and ranchers by importing Argentinian beef in an attempt to influence prices."


Dotard put tariffs on imported beef from Australia, New Zealand and Brazil. He could lower them to where they were if he wanted to reduce prices but he'd rather prop up his anarcho-capitalist lackey in Argentina.

They have to whine about something. They wake up in the morning and wait for their TV's tell them what the latest whine-worth thing is that President Trump has done, so they can do out and get busy.

Cattle populations are managed and if its low that was intended to drive up prices
The U.S. beef herd is at its lowest level in decades due to a combination of severe drought, high feed costs, and economic pressures on ranchers.

Key​

  1. Drought Conditions: The U.S. has experienced significant droughts, particularly in major beef-producing states like Texas. These droughts have led to poor pasture conditions, making it difficult for ranchers to sustain their herds. The ongoing dry conditions have forced many ranchers to liquidate their cattle, further reducing herd sizes.

    2
  2. High Feed Prices: Rising costs of feed have put additional financial strain on cattle producers. As feed prices soar, ranchers face challenges in maintaining profitability, which discourages them from restocking their herds after liquidation.

    2
  3. Economic Pressures: Ranchers are dealing with inflation and increased operational costs, which have made it difficult to sustain cattle operations. Many ranchers are exiting the industry, leading to a long-term decline in herd numbers.

    2
  4. Low Heifer Retention Rates: Heifer retention, which is crucial for rebuilding the herd, is at a 30-year low. This means fewer young females are being kept to breed, further exacerbating the decline in herd numbers.

    1
  5. Increased Demand and Import Dependency: Despite the low herd numbers, domestic demand for beef remains strong. This has led to calls for increased beef imports to meet consumer needs, highlighting the growing dependency on foreign beef to supplement domestic production.

    In other words the high inflation Biden years were rough on the industry.

The Left are proven mentally ill so they are never happy nor content unless complaining. If Trump cured cancer, they'd complain that he just doesn't care about all of the virologists, immunologists, and doctors he just put out of work.
