In reply to the discussion: Trump suggests US will buy Argentinian beef to bring down prices for American consumers [View all]3825-87867
(1,653 posts)46. Hello!???
To those of you thinking this has ANY benefit because of any imagined health benefits, just to remind you ALL....we're buying their beef with OUR tax money and giving them 40 billiion or our tax money, also, to help an economy the Heritage Foundation fucked up Argentina 20 years ago and installed a dictator, who trump likes, when they test ran Project 2025 there first.
Brilliant!

This will screw all of the cattle farmers, but also the grain farmers who grow the food for these animals.
