Ashley Hinson of Iowa told Fox News\u2019s <i>Sunday Morning Futures <\/i>in a conversation about Trump\u2019s plan to import 300,000 metric tons of tariff-free meat from an unknown source. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just meat that Republicans have beef with, after tariff negotiations between the U.S. and Canada collapsed on Friday and plunged the two old allies into a trade war. <\/p>\n<p>They had been at the negotiating table after Trump sought a 50-percent import levy on $20 billion of Canadian goods, which Prime Minister Mark Carney now says will be reciprocated \u201cdollar for dollar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Susan Collins of Maine didn\u2019t sugarcoat her frustration, writing on X on Saturday that she believes Trump\u2019s actions would directly hurt her constituents\u2019 wallets. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the administration proceeds with these tariffs, they will increase costs for Maine families, as most businesses will have no choice but to pass on the tariffs to their customers through higher prices,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Collins, who chairs the Senate Committee on Appropriations,urged \u201cboth sides to return to the negotiating table\u201d and \u201creach a fair agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also attacking the Canada tariffs was Rupert Murdoch\u2019s Wall Street Journal, whose editorial board said the \u201cdumbest trade war in history\u201d had just got \u201cdumber.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5980\">Sleepless Trump, 80, Unravels in Deranged 1AM Posting Spree<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some are touting the midterms as a referendum on Trump\u2019s first two years back in office, and polling shows Americans are increasingly concerned about his handling of the economy. <\/p>\n<p>An August Reuters\/Ipsos poll found that, for the first time in almost a decade, Democrats were preferred to Republicans as stewards of the economy, while a Focaldata poll last week found that a majority of voters felt they had gotten worse off under Trump. <\/p>\n<p>It has led to suggestions that Republicans up for election are trying to sidestep tough questions about the president in what could be perceived as an effort to distance themselves from him on the economy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are not talking to me about Trump,\u201d said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, when asked by ABC News to grade Trump\u2019s economic performance. <\/p>\n<p>Others have said they had directly warned Trump off his beef policy. <\/p>\n<p>Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana\u2014where cattle outnumber humans almost 2-to-1\u2014said he had \u201cadvised President Trump against this course of action for a year,\u201d the New York Times reports. <\/p>\n<p>It has sparked outcry in the industry. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand why beef prices are a problem right now. Ground beef is averaging $6.89 a pound, up 57 percent since 2021, and that\u2019s real pressure on American families,\u201d meat delivery subscription service Good Ranchers wrote on X. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut flooding the market with 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef with no tariff for 90 days is not a solution for American ranchers. It\u2019s a short-term price fix that puts more downward pressure on the cattle producers who are already struggling to stay viable. Trump has not said which countries this beef is coming from or who committed to the 25 percent price reduction he\u2019s promising.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAmerican cattle ranchers have been dealing with years of drought, high feed costs, and a shrinking herd. The answer to that is not more cheap imported beef with lower standards competing against them on shelves with no country of origin label required to tell you the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5979\">Murdoch Paper Savages Trump for Making His \u2018Dumbest\u2019 Plan Even Dumber<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s latest economic brainwaves are alienating even his own party.
