Anti-Trump narrative

Trump's beef import scheme would betray American ranchers who are already suffering from his failed trade policies. After gifting Argentina billions — despite that country selling soybeans to China — Trump now wants to flood the U.S. market with foreign beef, threatening domestic producers' livelihood during recovery.
