The president has announced that we're going to be importing a lot of beef from Argentina,
a huge amount of beef from Argentina.
And in his justification for this, he did not mention beef prices in the United States.
He said we're doing this because Argentina is in trouble and we're trying to help Argentina.
So I think this was very confusing for a lot of people watching.
What do you think is going on here?
Well, you're absolutely right.
The president's actually made two announcements about importing beef from Argentina.
The first time, which was quite a shock to all of us out here in rural America,
was that he was going to quadruple the amount of beef coming in the United States.
And his basis was that the people of Argentina was struggling to survive, and he liked the president.
Thousand metric tons, of which he's purchased 80,000 metric tons from Argentina again.
And so we're beginning to really dig into that and take a look at what is the real motivation.
It clearly isn't in our, we know for a fact, it's not America's farmers and ranchers.
We're seeing the cattle market go down.
Right after we just started making a profit.
And we don't see the results in the grocery store.
Consumers still can't afford their food.
So I think, I mean, there are a lot of potential motives here.
