President Donald Trump vowed to boost beef imports from Argentina as the US faces soaring meat prices. But any increases may offer little relief to consumers — and risk angering American ranchers.
Trump said on Sunday that buying more meat from Argentina would “bring our beef prices down” while also aiding the struggling South American ally. That’s even as he suggested that an agreement wouldn’t be for a significant amount of shipments, with Argentina currently accounting for only a small share of US beef imports.
