This post is nothing but propaganda. Instead of investing $1billion + into low-quality meat ‘trimming’ from south America we should be investing that $1billion into American ranchers into expanding their grass fed cow operations . It’s a no brainer.
And oh great, they are ‘looking into’ whether they can do country of origin. Just do it already! The American people deserve to know where their food comes from. This is insanity. And this post is just MAHA trying to put lipstick on a pig. The pig being our current food supply problem.
Politicians created this problem by writing meat inspection laws that put thousands of small producers out of business in the 1960's (including my dad), by nixing country of origin labels, by allowing themselves to be bought by the big four meat packers, and by numerous other ill conceived practices that helped corporate producers to consolidate the market while putting small, local producers out of business.
The solution is simple: Just put everything back the way it was in 1955 when my dad could slaughter a steer in the yard of our farmhouse and sell that meat to anyone he wanted to.
Trump policies made an existing supply problem worse and complicated the process of rebuilding the herd. Thumb-twiddling for a year while screw worm progressed north. Trump’s tariff policies complicated beef trade and increased uncertainty for cattle producers - who were already having trouble rebuilding herds.
Figures that trump would attach a foolish, ecologically detrimental delisting to wolf protection, instead of protecting keystone species like Mexican wolves. These wolves are erroneously deemed evil, yet are essential to maintaining and stabilizing the grassland ecosystem of their native range
Why didn't you mention trump's coziness with Brazilian billionaire Joesley Batista, whose company JBS was the single largest donor to Trump’s inaugural fund? The way all of the great dealmaker's "business" gets done. The family has magaworld pulling out all the stops for Flávio Bolsonaro.
One of the guy's he's railing against in public - owner of JBS - WSJ had a big article on it
Batista, whose company JBS was the single largest donor to Trump’s inaugural fund through one of its subsidiaries, met with the president in the Oval Office and lobbied him to lift a 26% import duty on Brazilian beef, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Back scratching aside, this news flies in the face of the Maha goal of making our food supply safer.
I’m off to see what happened to the beef market in the EU. Thanks.
[The EU said in May it would halt Brazilian imports because it wasn’t convinced Brazilian meatpackers were meeting its requirement that antimicrobials not be used for animal growth. The EU was seeking guarantees covering the whole life cycle of animals, an EU spokesperson told Reuters, and Brazil didn’t provide any such guarantees. The EU prohibits giving animals antimicrobials that are used to treat humans, including antibiotics, because overuse of can create resistant bacteria that spread to people through food, contact or the environment, making some human infections harder to treat. The ban on Brazilian beef went into effect Thursday.
SURPRISING FACT
Brazil was EU’s second-largest beef supplier in 2025, behind France.]
Back scratching is the King's prime motivation for most everything. And "flying in the face of the Maha goal .." Like everything. With more things han most here know about (or acknowledge). We've all been had.
Let's hope more children get the protective measles. Beef demand is not up, despite booby's ramblings about beef tallow. I'm so looking forward to that magnificent Arch.
Given existing issues, perhaps a bit more thought should have been given to the wild and wildly unpredictable tariffs and retaliatory trade barriers - which raised costs for fertilizer, machinery, grain and other inputs while reducing US ranching and agricultural exports.
Trade disruptions with China, and our beef export markets, and sharply reducing US soybean and other agricultural sales to China.
Restrictions on immigrant farm labor, threatening labor availability and increasing processing and harvesting costs.
The need for $12 billion in emergency farm "bridge payments" following trade-market disruptions and increased production costs.
In short, the administration has provided substantial farm assistance while simultaneously pursuing trade and immigration policies that have created additional costs and market disruptions for farmers and ranchers.
“Restrictions on (cheap) immigrant (illegal) farm labor, threatening labor availability and increasing processing and harvesting costs.”
True. So what I’m hearing is that it is better to take advantage of the illegals. Now, if we do not have American citizens available or willing to work, then there should be a work program to bring in outside Labor.
But the USA demands a living wage and benefits, yet also demands cheaper products. Can’t make everyone happy. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
Not necessarily. But abrupt, carelessly conducted high-profile actions and operations to please the base can have ramifications. And most working in US meat processing facilities are not "illegal." Except for those who had their legal protections abruptly stripped away - illegal overnight.
Making entire communities fearful gets to undone self deportations - and other consequences too.
Worldwide economic and uncertainty due to the trump-bessent-navarro tarriffs-by-tantrum policy has nothing to do with things. And fuel prices play no role.

There is a fix. And it could not be simpler. Stop eating dead animals.
Best for the animals, best for the planet, best for the people.
In the best interest of spiritual evolution.

Dead animals are not "food" they are dead animals...
Dead cows are not "beef" they are dead cows, yeah??
Exactly.

I can't respond to you at Jake Broe - glitchy, or he blocked me.
That Petey performance was beyond cringe. He's a caricature of an animation.
Stratospheric beef prices are far more Trump's fault than egg prices in 2024 had anything to do with Biden’s actions.
Let's hope more children get the protective measles. Beef demand is not up, despite booby's ramblings about beef tallow. I'm so looking forward to that magnificent Arch.
“President Trump is stuck in a conundrum not of his making …”
Isn't that always the case? Biden and the black guy did it. And Bill Clinton. And George Soros. Yeah, that's it. Soros!

Your guy fouled things up more with his special added "unique challenges."
Why not allow ranchers to buy cows from foreign countries at a lower price and let them increase their herds?
"Regenerative Agriculture" howz about soil building strategies some of
us have known about for many decades? Howz about the connection
between soil and gut "microbiome" Howz about crucial minerals?
Howz about the fact the animal "protein" is grossly inefficient
water wasting stupidity??
