(The Center Square) – The Trump administration is temporarily lifting the tariff on beef to help lower prices for Americans at the grocery store.
“For the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out-of-quota tariff,” President Donald Trump wrote on social media Friday. “We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25% below current market prices.”
