What happened
Major cattle and agriculture industry leaders have united to urge President Donald Trump to reverse the Administration’s plan to import up to 300,000 metric tons of beef over the next 90 days. The industry is concerned that the policy threatens the viability of U.S. cattle producers.
Why it matters
Critics argue that the influx of cheap foreign beef will undercut domestic producers who are already facing major industry headwinds, including high operating costs and drought. The policy directly impacts the recovery of the American cattle herd.
Donald Trump announced a policy allowing tariff-free imports of foreign beef, which threatens domestic herd recovery efforts in the U.S. beef market.
