      US President Donald Trump signed an order Friday to allow more Argentinian beef imports into the United States, a move aimed at cooling climbing prices of the staple meat as affordability worries grow.

      But the decision could draw alarm from the agriculture and livestock sector, which previously warned that buying more from Argentina undercuts American family farmers and ranchers.

      Friday’s order raises the quota of beef allowed into the United States under preferential tariff treatment by 80,000 metric tons.

      This applies to lean beef trimmings, which are blended with fattier ones to make ground beef products like hamburgers, the document added.

      The aim is to raise the supply of ground beef for US consumers. The quotas will be administered over 2026.

      Trump’s proclamation noted that costs have been growing for various reasons, such as drought and lower imports from Mexico due to a pest in herds there.

      Beef and veal prices were up 16.4 percent from a year ago in December 2025, government data showed, and are predicted to keep increasing as the US cattle herd size remains its smallest in decades.

      The cost of ground beef rose to an average of around US$6.70 per pound in December, the highest since the US Department of Labor started tracking such costs.

      All this has added to budget pressures US households are facing. Cost-of-living issues are seen as a contributing factor to losses by Trump’s Republican Party in several high-profile elections late last year.

      In November, Trump said he had asked the US Justice Department to investigate the meatpacking industry over high beef prices, as he faced mounting political pain over the issue.

      Dumb considering how much beef is produced in the US. They should fix the cost of that instead of bandaging the real problem with imports.

      Argentinian beef that travels 5,000 miles would be cheaper than American beef produced locally… It does not really make any sense…

      Canadian beef is so much better! Seriously, Americans are missing out. Too bad your pedo nepo bitch king is a such a pedo nepo bitch.

      Not only costs, but health and safety concerns too. You really think an administration as fucked up as Trump’s would even guarantee that said beef is safe for human consumption? I don’t want a brain eating disease, and that’s what Trump is perfect at providing.

      True fact – The average cost of a new car in 2025 in the United States is $50,080 and the average weight is 4,400lbs. That’s $ 11.38 per pound for a NEW CAR! Ribeye costs $23.45 per pound currently.

      >Cattle farmers and ranchers are operating in the black for the first time in a long time, but margins are vulnerable and could be wiped out should prices begin to fall. Market intervention efforts, including increased imports, would add another barrier to growing the cattle herd and potentially incentivize more contraction in the cattle inventory. This could drive beef prices even higher and increase U.S. reliance on imported beef to meet domestic demand.

      I know not everyone can do it but I buy a whole beef every year, picking it up this week, and it will end up at $4.80/lbs for all cuts. From a local farm and butcher that I knew how the cow was raised.

      Make up your mind Reddit.

      Last April, “tariffs are bad”.

      Today, “importing stuff is bad!”

      I’m a farmer and cattle rancher. I’ll be consistent and say that international trade is a good thing whether it is good for me personally or not.

      Hey MAGA Ranchers, the Orange Monster has your backs. Unfortunately there’s a knife stuck there, because he doesn’t give two sh“ts about you.

      The US is already importing a lot of beef from Australia, Brazil and Canada and still the price is really high. I don’t think that importing argentinian beef will really reduce the price by that much.

    21. Creepy-Birthday8537 on

      Beef prices are up due to my policies crushing farmers.. I know! We’ll make it cheaper to import foreign beef so that we can finally put them out of their misery!

      Lol. That Ebersole beef lady in Iowa must be ecstatic that she voted for this.

    28. DataDude00 on

      So the US admin is adding tariffs because they supposedly want to bring production onshore….but they are kneecapping their domestic farmers by undercutting them with foreign beef now?

      I guess I’m lucky to get my bloodwork back now. No more beef for me so I’m doing my part to lower the demand. Prices should drop any day now!
