trump gave 40 billion dollars of your money to Argentina in order to bolster their President before their mid-terms.

Argentina just had a huge shipment of beef rejected by China because it came nowhere near meeting China's health standards.

The american Secretary of Agriculture says she doesn't know where the beef is coming from.

Sit with that for a moment... The american Secretary of Agriculture says she doesn't know where the beef is coming from

I would be fascinated to know, especially as beef prices have soared by 55% under the stewardship of Trump's good friend Javier Milei. At a guess I would say it is donkey or horse meat repackaged as beef. Nothing wrong with using these meats, but you have to be completely transparent with the consumer . . oh well! 🤷‍♀

I also wonder if subsidising foreign meat imports is a responsible use of tax dollars.

He's cutting the tariffs to the countries that import but I sure as hell hope Canada, which is one of them, says kiss off. If the other ones did as well that would hit hard.

Here's what came from the four major ranching/farming organizations today. Ouch.

“This announcement has already driven cattle markets sharply lower and undermines producers at a critical time of year when they are marketing cattle and making herd-building decisions.We urge you to reverse course on this 90-day import plan and work with us instead on solutions that strengthen, rather than weaken, America’s capacity to feed itself."

Let them eat tofu.

You know all those people that ICE had locked up....

1. Brazil
2. Australia & New Zealand
3. Canada
4. Argentina

It's relabeled horseman from Argentina. And yes I'm sure the orange bastard gets his cut off the top.

you mean Bill gates and the FDA and corrupt corporations? yea we haven't clean up the U.S yet.


but might as well blame trump right? always blame Trump

American cattle are predominantly grain-fed in feedlots, which creates high-quality, highly marbled, and relatively fatty beef. When meatpackers cut this cattle into premium steaks and roasts, they are left with a massive surplus of very fatty trimmings (often a 50/50 fat-to-lean ratio , To make consumer-grade hamburger meat (like standard 80/20 or 85/15 lean-to-fat ground beef), processors must blend those domestic fat trimmings with 90% lean beef trimmings.Because the U.S. does not produce nearly enough lean trimmings on its own, it relies heavily on foreign grass-fed cattle markets (like Australia and New Zealand) to supply the lean meat required to make the math work, The U.S. beef industry operates on a high-profit export model. American producers maximize their earnings by exporting expensive, premium grain-fed cuts (like ribeyes and T-bones) to high-bidding international markets in Asia and Europe. They then import cheaper, lean grass-fed trimmings to satisfy the massive domestic fast-food and grocery demand for inexpensive burgers. U.S. domestic cattle herd has shrunken to its lowest size in decades due to years of severe droughts, high feed costs, and wildfires.Lifting tariffs to import 300,000 metric tons of foreign trimmings is an attempt to artificially inject raw materials into the supply chain to lower those grocery bills immediately.

That's really concerning and kinda weird. America first but import all the beef and not help the farmers. This is pretty crazy.

Eight pounds of meat for every family will lower beef prices through December. Then prices will sky rocket so the republicans can blame the new democratic congress and senate.

Trump and Mystery Meat? 🤔 😳

logic would suggest Mexico , they need to get rid of sick cattle and Canada - cheapest logistics , plus Brazil and Argentina 😂

Small side point. The consumer is accidentally getting a bonus at both ends here (assuming what Trump says actually happens, which is a massive "IF") Not only will the meat be cheaper to buy than US stuff, it will also likely be better quality and have lower hormone/antibiotic and pesticide levels than US meat..😷

Give you a hint.

Did you notice that not long ago, he removed federal protection from the wild horses that roam the plains of this country?

And now, suddenly, he's got meat to sell us.

The beef being imported bypassed all inspections..........because trump pulled strings to fuck over American beef ranchers and the public who buys that meat. He could give a fuck less if everyone but him gets eColi. In fact the FDA did finally inspect the beef and quarantined it. The FDA started an investigation intro this meat packer.......whoop-ti-do.............like that isn't another dog and pony show too.

This same supplier and packing house in Argentina were responsible for a hundred + cases of eColi earlier this year and the FDA did nothing to stop future shipments of meat from the same plant and supplier.

It's the equivalent of bread and circuses before the election...
