President Donald Trump has demanded a Justice Department investigation into meatpacking companies he believes are driving up beef prices through illegal means.
"I have asked the DOJ to immediately begin an investigation into the Meat Packing Companies who are driving up the price of Beef through Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation," Trump posted on Truth Social.
"We will always protect our American Ranchers, and they are being blamed for what is being done by Majority Foreign Owned Meat Packers, who artificially inflate prices, and jeopardize the security of our Nation's food supply.
"Action must be taken immediately to protect Consumers, combat Illegal Monopolies, and ensure these Corporations are not criminally profiting at the expense of the American People," Trump continued.
"I am asking the DOJ to act expeditiously."
Attorney General Pam Bondi responded in a post on X: "Our investigation is underway!"

I voted for this.
Action must also be taken to mandate sourcing on raw meats.
I voted for THAT, too.
You bet! About time! they are coordinating gouging and “price fixing” like crazy... This is all on the middlemen...
I voted for this. Other industries need the same examination.
On Fox this morning Charlie Kirk said these meat packing companies have been in hot water in the past.......time for a rectal exam. 🔍
I hope The Boss has some direct evidence of this and he's not just offering the appearance of doing something to the whiny masses.
I know some people on here mentioned the problems with meat packing industry before but I wonder if ranchers brought it up to Trump when he decided to import some Argentina beef . Hopefully this is taken care of and we have a lot of cows again (instead of the current 75 year low)
Went this week to purchase a brisket normally $60, now it’s $95… what the heck happened?
Lady I know purchased part of a cow from a local farmer. He had it butchered, divided into cuts, frozen and delivered.
She gave me some.
When feeder steers are over $350 a hundred weight the problem is not the packers.
A fifth grader can figure that out.
“I hope The Boss has some direct evidence of this and he’s not just offering the appearance of doing something to the whiny masses.”
He doesn’t.
The math is not there.
Long overdue. Take away foreign ownership as well.
“what the heck happened?”
-
Why greed of course.
The Bible speaks on money very specifically.....and none of it I’ve ever read is positive.
Go after the egg producers also.
The worst is Tyson…whose owner was an FOB (Friends of Bill Clinton)
Actually I think eggs have stabilized.
Around $2.70 a dozen where I am.
“Go after the egg producers also.”
Why?
Because their flocks were wiped out by disease?
This is what lefties and commies do - blame the private sector for “price gouging.” And FR’s dumbass geriatric personality cult types here cheer it.
“I voted for this!!!!”
People who understand markets and cattle know where the problems lie - way before the packing stage.
And YES....we have...a PROBE.
