Today, Congressman Adrian Smith (NE-03), a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee and Chair of the Trade Subcommittee, released the following statement after President Trump signed an executive order permitting increased imports of Argentine beef amid historically low U.S. cattle inventories:
“No matter the conditions, ranchers in Nebraska’s Third District lead the nation in producing high-quality, affordable beef. Now more than ever, we must deliver policies which drive confidence in the market, eliminate burdensome regulations, and lower production costs. While the United States holds historic low-inventory in cattle herds, we must focus on policies that strengthen the market and create long-term certainty for the entire supply chain.”
