U.S. Sen. John Curtis, a Republican, broke with President Donald Trump over a controversial beef import plan that Utah beef industry experts say could put their livelihoods at stake.

About 80% of U.S. beef imports in the first half of 2026 came from five countries, according to the USDA.

Texas ranchers say cheaper beef now could come at a much higher cost later.

President Trump says his plan to import 300,000 metric tons will "substantially lower the price of ground beef."

Nearly 15 tons of beef raise in Argentina and imported into a couple of US states has been recalled. Here's what to look for in your freezer.

The beef recall notice points to missed import re-inspections as the cause, but the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service classified the recalled beef as a Class I health hazard, the agency’s highest risk category.
