While US beef production is geared towards steaks and ground chuck, most other countries focus on growing lean beef.
The almost certainly low quality meat being imported (countries aren’t going to export their good stuff to Donnie), likely isn’t even going to end up in your local grocery stores as steaks or ground beef. It will be used in other areas of industry with massive orders. Think filler for frozen dinner meatballs, etc. where the raw quality isn’t a priority. Where the lower quality stuff already goes.
Which also means that this won’t actually affect customer prices in the slightest. Those companies will just pocket the 25% discount on their input costs.
Meanwhile the US beef farmers get screwed yet again, because the increased consumer pricing never makes it all the way back up the chain to the actual farmers.

Eyeahhhhh. Check out the youtube chanel “Farming While Beige” and listen to the guy’s videos… he has some fairly spot-on points about farming and farms in the US. Some of it is stuff I kinda knew about, but did not realize just how much more was true.
Sounds like donnie the dotard is trying to do some short-term “fix” for a problem of his own creation, shortly before the election.
Wonder what happens after Nov 3?
People that ate the meat, get sick?
