President Donald Trump signed a directive on Friday further increasing the amount of beef imported into the US from Argentina, his latest move to address Americans’ concerns about affordability.

The proclamation finalizes the terms of a deal the US and Argentina signed on Thursday scrapping hundreds of tariffs and trade barriers on each other’s goods — a major win for Argentine President Javier Milei, a Trump ally.
