**President Trump Considers Importing Argentinian Beef to Lower U.S. Prices**
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump announced Sunday that the United States could purchase beef from Argentina as a strategy to reduce beef prices for American consumers.
“We would buy some beef from Argentina,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One during a flight from Florida to Washington. “If we do that, that will bring our beef prices down.”
Trump made this statement amid efforts to tackle inflation, promising earlier in the week that he would address the issue of high beef prices. U.S. beef costs have remained stubbornly high due to several factors, including drought conditions and a reduction in imports from Mexico. The decline in Mexican beef imports is partly attributable to a flesh-eating pest affecting cattle herds there.
In addition to these measures, President Trump has been working to support Argentina’s struggling currency. This includes facilitating a $20 billion credit swap line and securing additional financing from sovereign funds and the private sector. These efforts come ahead of midterm elections for his close ally, Argentine President Javier Milei.
