This is the Fox News Rundown Extra.

I'm Jessica Rosenthal.

President Trump said last week he was weighing increased beef imports from Argentina to help bring

down the price of some meat.

But some U.S. cattle ranchers said the move could hurt American producers.

President Trump said his intention was to bring down some prices and help struggling consumers. But even ranchers said the move could hurt American producers. President Trump said his intention was to

bring down some prices and help struggling consumers. But even ranchers who support the president

and appreciate his tariffs on foreign cattle think this might be a betrayal. We recently spoke with

Texas rancher Trent Simmons to discuss the state of the cattle industry why some beef prices are so

high and why some ranchers

oppose the new imports. Simmons also spoke about what solutions could lower prices without

harming local farmers. We had to make some edits for time and thought you might like to hear

this full conversation. So thank you for listening. If you haven't already, please go to

The cattle ranchers who I love don't understand that the only reason they're doing so well for the first time in decades is because I put tariffs on cattle coming into the U.S., including a 50%

tariff on Brazil. If it weren't for me, they would be doing just as they've done for the past 20 years.

prices down because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking also. Exclamation mark.

No, thank you for your attention to this matter on that one. So your reaction, Trent, to that,

because farmers generally are very supportive of this president.
