Republicans Press Trump Over Argentina Beef Plan

Indiana farmer Todd Armstrong, who backed Donald Trump in 2024, says he feels betrayed after the president suggested buying beef from Argentina to lower prices — a move he calls hypocritical to “America First.” His frustration mirrors a rare GOP split: senators pressed Trump at the White House, House Republicans sought details, and the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association leader says his phone has been ringing off the hook. While Speaker Mike Johnson says talks aim to avoid unintended consequences, Trump doubled down, crediting tariffs for ranchers’ gains and pledging quick action to bring consumer beef prices down.
