Can't be emphasized enough - Trump is compromising our country's food safety, not to mention our agricultural workers, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's doing so for a piece of the action.

👋 Iowa, why can't my beef just come from Iowa? Nebraska? Colorado? Oklahoma? Texas? Why in the F does my beef need to cross an ocean? I'll never understand. I get trade and relations but why trade for things you already possess?

"We've gut the USDA like Project 2025 said, which was also an explicitly laid out manual during the election, but the opponent was a woman with a laugh, so this is what you get. Welcome to Costco, I love you." No, West Virginia, this isn't your time to chime in.

He's likely committing multiple crimes, and so the less you know, the better. He met with a Brazilian beef billionaire just before announcing this "deal," and the beef we're getting? The EU won't touch it. Bon appetit. Screwworm, downers, and kickbacks - oh, my!

Couldn't someone just buy the stupid meat and test it for animal source. I am not a biologist but surely they have a way to test if it's cow or horse.....it's probably horse.

I am German and I do not believe one word. I would immediately start to eat vegetarian or vegan. He destroys the trust in meat completely. I am buying here in Germany only from reliable sources and Trump makes me shiver.

I’d suggest “beef”, not beef, when talking about his mystery meat. If he won’t pinpoint origin, nope. And now US ranchers can skip USDA inspection? Nope again.

Not only todo I need to know where the beef is coming from, I need to have an extensive bio on every steer involved, including family hx, education, feeding protocol, sexual history, etc.😉

Where’s the beef…from, exactly? Mystery meats are the stuff of illnesses. What are they trying to hide? “Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark.”—Wm Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” Act 1 Scene 4

He’s signing an order today to remove country of origin labels from beef. Everyone should be afraid. He is literally importing cancer causing food and feeding it to us while trying to cover it up.

I won't buy beef for a very long time. Last week in AZ a lb of 85% lean ground beef was $12. This week it's only $8. I do not trust our food supply anymore. I can't imagine what restaurants are willing to buy. I have a beef with beef.

One should ask why it was important to have the Country of origin Labeling (COOL) it was hard fought for and against It would remove this hyperbolic speculation and give the American buyer a sense of sevurity But once again we are peeling back all the guide rails e v e r y. L a s t. O n e

1) The US Customs entry form has to state the c/o: Code of Federal Regulations Title 19 2) The 'beef product' entry HAS to include a whole slew of documentation 3) The 'beef product' has to be inspected and graded by the USDA, and maybe highly tested if not from an usual or known exporter

It’s convenient that he mentions getting beef from Brazil…Brazil has controlling interests in 2 of the 4 major US meat packers, JBS and National Beef Packing. Two packers that are squeezing our cattle ranchers to accept the lowest price on their beef…while setting consumer prices at record highs.

He needs all the puppets behind him to nod their heads in agreement to make him look smart. He’s not and neither are they. Let Trump eat that beautiful beef for a week and let us know.
