Donald Trump has said the United States could purchase Argentinian beef in an attempt to bring down prices for American consumers.
“We would buy some beef from Argentina,” the US president told reporters aboard Air Force One during a flight from Florida to Washington.
“If we do that, that will bring our beef prices down.”
Mr Trump promised earlier this week to address the issue as part of his efforts to keep inflation in check.
US beef prices have been stubbornly high for a variety of reasons, including drought and reduced imports from Mexico due to a flesh-eating pest in cattle herds there.
