Washington - US President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order concerning beef on Friday, according to two sources in the know. One insider revealed the order would focus on country-of-origin labeling for beef. Trump's signing is slated to occur in private at 1:30 p.m. ET (1730 GMT). The White House has yet to address inquiries regarding the matter.
Last week, Trump expressed his intention to examine if excessive regulations impeded ranchers from slaughtering their own cattle. Additionally, last week, Trump signed an order temporarily boosting imports of certain low-tariff beef to help alleviate rising consumer beef prices, which have reached record levels this year. Ranchers and farming associations have vehemently opposed this plan, contending it would disadvantage American producers.
Some ranchers have advocated for mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef, claiming it would benefit domestic producers and enhance consumer transparency. Present regulations permit meat companies to opt-in and apply a "Product of USA" label for meat originating, being raised, and slaughtered within the United States.
