Donald Trump says U.S. will allow imports of beef for ground beef "with no out of quota tariff"

President Donald Trump said Friday on Truth Social that the U.S. will let up to 300,000 metric tons of beef product intended for ground beef enter the country over a 90-day period without additional tariffs beyond existing quotas. The Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association, which represents roughly 5,000 ranch families, pushed back Saturday, urging Trump to withdraw the policy and instead support measures that would encourage American producers to restore domestic beef supplies. The exchange comes amid rising consumer prices: ground beef averaged $6.89 per pound in July, up 57% from five years earlier, according to federal labor data reported by CBS News.
