The same goes for 25 percent of corn production. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the average price of a pound of ground beef has already risen, from around $5.50 at the start of 2024 to just over $7 in April this year, Bloomberg data showed. <\/p>\n<p>To make matters worse, an El Ni\u00f1o weather pattern is expected to develop by August, creating further problems that are expected to stretch into 2027. <\/p>\n<p>While it could provide vital rain to California, it is also likely to hit overseas producers of various imported goods, such as coffee. This adds an extra layer of concern to the already-fraught import market following the imposition of Trump\u2019s sprawling tariff plan. <\/p>\n<p>The president ran an election campaign promising to make Americans better off, but as the midterms loom in November, it is the Democrats who are expected to make their pitch to voters on improving affordability.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=118\">Trump Uses Cabinet Meeting to Flog Tacky $55 Hats<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House and the USDA for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s affordability crisis is about to get even worse.
