What happened

Well supportedReported by 48 independent outlets

Donald Trump announced a plan to allow tariff-free imports of foreign beef, intending to lower beef prices. An analysis of the first 30 days of this expanded import quota found that the national average price of ground beef declined by less than 2%. However, prices paid to American cattle producers for cows used in ground beef dropped by as much as 13.9% since the policy took effect.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The falling prices paid to domestic ranchers threaten to reduce profitability and discourage investment in rebuilding the U.S. cattle herd, which is already facing pressures from drought, global competition, and the reemergence of screwworm. Local producers are also facing elevated operating costs, including diesel and labor, which have risen significantly.
