Cattle Ranchers Tear Into Trump as Anger Grows Over Argentina Beef Plan

American cattle ranchers are turning against President Donald Trump over his plan to import Argentine beef, warning that the measure—which is meant to curb record-high prices—will harm domestic producers.

"Cattlemen and women cannot stand behind President Trump while he undercuts the future of family farmers and ranchers by importing Argentinian beef," the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) wrote on X on Wednesday.

The trade group, the largest representing ranchers and beef producers in the U.S., said it was imperative that Trump and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins "let cattle markets work without interference."
