Trump Blames Biden for Beef Price Surge

The Trump administration blames the Biden administration for soaring beef prices, citing a war on cattle and illegal immigration. Federal data shows a 11.4% increase in ground beef prices and a 12.7% rise in uncooked beef steaks. The current cattle herd is at a 70-year low due to drought and inflation. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins attributes the decline to previous administrations policies and increased demand. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent links price hikes to illegal immigration and halted beef imports from Mexico. The Trump administration plans to expand grazing lands, reopen cattle ports, reduce tariffs, and investigate meatpacking companies to lower prices. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
