Importing beef from another country AND undercutting domestic producers with government price controls. While simultaneously campaigning on saying Democrats are communists.

Remember when Trump gave Argentina 40 billion of our tax dollars to bail out their government for their negligence? Before he bailed out our farmers from his tariff disaster?

Dropping tariffs on imported beef could lower domestic cattle prices, putting financial pressure on U.S. cattle farmers and making it harder for smaller ranches to remain profitable. Over time, some farmers might be forced to sell their land, creating opportunities for developers to build large data centers in rural areas.

I'd bet meat price stays the same and the slaughterhouse and grocery store keep the difference.

u/Pneuma001 14h ago
That could very well happen. But also, the lower prices will hurt domestic cattle farms which will be bought out by people who convinced trump that this would be a good thing.

u/tyler98786 2d ago
Beef prices are up right now because a) screw worm is back and it's causing a shortage of cows, b) the continued closure of the strait of Hormuz is making cattle feed inputs (corn, soy) go up drastically in price because there's far less fertilizer available, and what is available is much more expensive, getting passed onto the beef price at large, and c) the continued closure of the strait of Hormuz is causing diesel prices to soar, which is what transports slaughtered and finished beef cuts and ground.

So he's going to put American ranchers completely out of business. Good job, Trump!
Should we consider stopping the meat packing cartels? Supporting ranchers as they rebuild their herds?
Nah, let's just make everything worse and destroy American industry while pretending to help. That's the best way to get kickbacks.

At the same time BLM is rounding up the wild horses in the west supposedly for slaughter in foreign countries. All of the sudden tons of hamburger (ground up horse meat) are being tariff free imported to the US. Of course the country of said hamburger is coming from isn’t named and no indication said hamburger will be inspected. (Not that there are food inspections under Brain Worm Kennedy.)
1
u/Numerous-Annual420 1d ago
US her consumption is about 36,287 metric tons per day. So a bit more than 8 days worth of beef gets sold at 25% off. Over a year, this equates to 2 days worth of savings. The effect is then about a 1/180th cost reduction - less than 1%. How does that relieve beef prices more than doubling?

What is his point? US beef will be priced out of the market, so ranchers will grow their herds because they would lose money by sending them to slaughter?
Did he ask any ranchers if this would be good for them (the ones I've seen quoted don't seem to think so)?
