Those representing American beef producers have warned that there is no quick fix to the issues plaguing the industry, with the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association saying that Trump’s comments “risk obscuring the real story.”

“America’s ranchers have weathered years of rising input costs, drought, and market shifts with unwavering resilience,” the organization said in a news release. “Today’s beef prices are a direct reflection of these challenges.”

“When policymakers hint at intervention or suggest quick fixes, they can shake the market’s foundation and directly impact the livelihoods of ranchers who depend on stable, transparent pricing,” added Justin Tupper, the association’s president. “Sudden price moves make it harder for independent producers to plan, invest, and keep their operations running.”

Sylvain Charlebois, a professor of food distribution and policy at Dalhousie University, Canada, told Newsweek that importing beef from Argentina would “not significantly” address the price issues faced by consumers in the U.S.

“Argentina exports only a small amount of beef to the United States—roughly 20,000 tons a year compared with more than 12 million tons of U.S. production,” he said. “So even a sharp increase would barely move retail prices.”
