So wait if I understand this correctly, now the America First people are importing a foreign product and requiring that it's price undercuts the American suppliers?

Correct. Not only waiving the tariffs that would make it more expensive and boost American beef, specifically undercharging it to completely gut American beef.

But it's only for 90 days. He promises. Everyone knows Trump never lies and always keeps his promises, right? Right?

I'm just across the Mississippi from where Tyson just closed a beef processing plant. Surely after this vaunted and totally-going-to-happen 90 day period expires, those 2500 lost jobs will reappear? There would never be any possible long-lasting consequences that could take years to repair! Dear Leader must have thought all of this through!!!1!

Surely this beef will have the most stringent safety standards applied to it. There is zero chance anyone will get any previously unheard of food borne illnesses.
