Beefing Up a Campaign Promise? President Trump has announced plans to flood the US market with up to 300,000 tons of imported beef sold at below market rates.
This move is intended to keep prices low for working class families ahead of the midterm elections, but it appears to be another short term fix aimed at scoring quick electoral points.
The president's claim that he has negotiated a deal to import large quantities of beef from abroad comes after two years of steady price increases under his watch.
