Trump said on Truth Social that the U.S. will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef into the country for the next 90 days with "no out-of-quota tariff." Ground beef cost an average of $6.89 per pound in July, up 57% from five years ago, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, citing federal labor data. Groups representing the cattle industry have opposed attempts to increase imports over concerns that they could undercut American cattle producers. | CBS News
