US President Donald Trump is allowing up to 300,000 tonnes of ground beef to be imported without affecting tariff quotas as part of a 90-day deal aimed at lowering prices as US consumers struggle with grocery bills.
Trump, in a social media post, said he had “a commitment” that the meat would be sold at 25 per cent below current market prices.
He did not say which countries the beef was coming from or who had committed to the lower prices.
“This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again,” Trump said on Friday.
Representatives for the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment for more details on the agreement.
