U.S. President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order pertaining to beef on Friday, based on statements from two sources familiar with the matter. One source revealed the order would focus on country-of-origin labeling for beef. Trump is scheduled to officially sign the executive order behind closed doors at 1:30 p.m. ET (1730 GMT).
The White House has not yet provided any comment on the matter. In a recent interview, Trump expressed his intention to investigate if there were excessive regulations limiting ranchers from slaughtering their cattle. Additionally, Trump signed an order last week to temporarily increase the import of some beef with lower tariffs in a bid to reduce the high consumer beef prices that have been prevalent this year.
However, ranchers and farm groups have strongly opposed this plan, claiming it would disadvantage American producers. Some ranchers have advocated for mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef, as they believe it would support domestic producers and provide greater transparency to consumers. Currently, meat companies have the option to voluntarily add a "Product of USA" label for meat that is born, raised, and slaughtered in the United States.
