“Import beef to help reduce beef prices? Can both be achieved?”

NO.

The immediate to intermediate effect of ALL tariffs is upward price pressure on the American consumer. The question is whether the long-term gain is worth the short-term pain. In this special instance, the President is signaling “no.”

And yet again, I’ll point out that Americans aren’t starving. Adjusting for inflation, pork and poultry are far cheaper than they were a decade ago.
