Oct. 21 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump on Monday said his administration is considering buying beef from Argentina, angering American cattle ranchers at a time when U.S. agriculture has been strained by high costs and trade uncertainty.
Trump made the comment to reporters aboard Air Force One as a possible way to lower the price of beef in the United States.
"One of the things we're thinking about doing is [importing] beef from Argentina," he said.
The announcement comes on the heels of the Trump administration on Oct. 10 stating his administration had finalized a $20 billion financial framework for Argentina.
