It can be difficult to unify the U.S. beef and cattle industry, but President Trump accomplished that. On Truth Social, Trump said cattle ranchers need to understand the only reason they have done well is due to the tariffs he placed on cattle coming into the United States. He went on to say it would be nice if ranchers understood that they need to get their prices down because he is also focused on the consumers. Trump followed up with a post, saying he ‘saved’ the American cattle industry with his tariffs. The comments were met with criticism from all segments of the U.S. beef industry.
