Trump Beef Import Plan Gets Support From Agriculture Secretary
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is backing President Trump’s plan to increase beef imports into the United States by temporarily suspending tariffs.
Rollins made the comments during a visit to Nebraska, one of the nation’s leading cattle-producing states.
Speaking at an invite-only federal issues forum with Nebraska Senator Pete Ricketts, Rollins said President Trump is looking for ways to make food more affordable for American consumers.
The plan would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of beef to enter the U.S. tariff-free, with much of that beef expected to come from Brazil.
Rollins says that amount works out to less than two pounds of beef per American.
She also defended the policy by saying food prices in the United States remain relatively low compared to other countries.
Rollins’ support marks a change from earlier this year.
Back in May, the Trump administration considered suspending beef tariffs for 200 days. Reports at the time indicated Rollins pushed back on that proposal, and the plan was eventually halted.
Now, Rollins is supporting the expanded import plan, even as several cattle organizations and some members of Congress oppose it.
Rollins has also defended President Trump’s broader trade policies, saying the current system is fundamentally broken and does not work for American farmers, ranchers, and agriculture.
