Donald Trump to Buy Foreign Beef to Bring Prices Down

President Donald Trump said his administration would import beef from Argentina to help tackle persistently high prices as the supply is throttled by drought, a flesh-eating pest, and other issues affecting cattle.

“We would buy some beef from Argentina,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he traveled from Florida to Washington, DC, on Sunday. “If we do that, that will bring our beef prices down.”

Trump is acutely aware of voter concern about inflation, a key issue that helped to deliver him the White House again in the 2024 election—and one that could hurt him in next year’s midterms if the cost of living remains a problem under his leadership.

It also comes as the Trump White House has sought to help ally Javier Milei, the libertarian president of Argentina, avert an economic crisis in his country with a $20 billion bailout, a move that has sparked criticism from some within his own MAGA movement.
