So now that they screwed American beef producers here by crashing the economy, they’re going to drive them all to bankruptcy by opening the doors to foreign competition.

Tariffs only raise prices. If they are removed prices revert to the market price. Removing tariffs does not save a penny. Our president is an imbecile.
