President Donald Trump has announced his administration will temporarily allow more beef imports into the U.S. without triggering higher tariffs. He said Friday the imported beef will be sold at 25% below current market rates to help American consumers. However, conservative rural-state Republicans are already criticizing the plan, fearing it will harm American ranchers. Sen.
