Ranchers group blasts Trump's tariff-free beef import proposal as a blow to domestic producers

The U.S. will permit up to 300,000 metric tons of beef imports without out-of-quota tariffs for 90 days, according to a Friday announcement. The nation's top cattle ranchers' association argues this move undercuts American farmers and could destabilize the domestic beef market. The plan aims to reduce consumer beef prices but faces strong opposition from the industry.
