Flooding Market with Argentinian Beef Is Not America First: Governor Polis Calls on President Trump Not to Hurt to Colorado Ranchers, American Beef

In reaction to President Trump's intent to purchase massive amounts of Argentinian Beef, Governor Polis released the following statement on the thoughtless plan that will harm Colorado ranchers and the American beef industry.

“If the President floods the market with Argentinian beef, he will crush hardworking Colorado farmers and ranchers, turning his back on the industry that helps drive our western economy and puts food on our tables. On the heels of a $20 billion bailout for Argentina during a government shutdown, when American families are facing hunger and skyrocketing health care costs, it’s even worse to intentionally harm American farmers. This thoughtless move would take business from American farmers and ranchers to prop up the president's friend, and I like Javier Milei as much as the next guy and he has great hair, but helping him doesn’t justify hurting ranchers. If the President moves forward, it will be a slap in the face to hardworking producers across the entire nation,” said Governor Polis.
