President Donald Trump announced a 90-day suspension of out-of-quota tariffs on up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef imports. The administration claims this move will lower consumer prices by 25% and provide space for the U.S. cattle herd to recover. Trump attributed the current high prices and shrinking herd to the Biden administration. The policy has faced criticism from American ranchers, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, and Senator Tim Sheehy.
