https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/just-threw-ranchers-republicans-vent-205952641.htmlRepublican senators on Tuesday railed against the administration’s plans to import more beef during a closed-door meeting with Vice President JD Vance.
Officials said last week they would allow Argentina to ship four times as much beef to the US as it previously did at a lower tariff rate. Ranchers immediately panned the move, as did the lawmakers who represent them: Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., warned “this isn’t the way to do it.”
Vance sought to “explain what the administration is thinking” in Tuesday’s meeting, one Republican senator in attendance told Semafor.
“There were a number that really expressed … why it’s important to put America first,” the senator said, summing up Republicans’ view as: “You just threw the ranchers out and caused the beef market to plummet. And you’re not going to get anything out of it. … It’s not going to change the price of beef.”
EXCERPT
Vance apparently got a stern talking to about how the U.S. beef industry actually works.
