Meanwhile, the administration is planning to import 661,000,000 lbs of beef to try to reduce record high prices but refuses to say where it will come from.

can this administration just do a single thing that isn't evil and self serving? it bogles my mind that every single thing they do is just awful.

"Since Trump’s announcement, Detwiler said, online discussion has fueled confusion about what is happening with beef imports and the recall." Articles like this one aren't exactly helping either.

That's only about 50 cows. This isn't a big recall. Total slaughter of cows in Texas is about 1.8 million head per year.
