Trump to Sign Orders Monday Aimed at Lowering Beef Prices

President Donald Trump will sign two executive orders Monday to try to lower beef prices, according to a White House official, the latest effort by the administration to counter high consumer prices ahead of November midterms.

The orders aim to address short-term supply issues in the US beef market by expanding imports and by supporting a rebuild of the country’s domestic cattle herd, according to the official, who requested anonymity to discuss the measures before they are made public.
