Trump admin warns Argentina beef might be diseased but US may still import

Story by Hugh Cameron
President Donald Trump’s administration has warned that disease issues facing Argentina’s cattle industry could impede its plan to import the country’s beef to help lower domestic prices.

On Tuesday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said on CNBC that Trump is “in discussions with Argentina” regarding the proposal, but said that the country is facing a “foot-and-mouth disease issue.”

According to the World Reference Laboratory for Foot-and-Mouth Disease, Argentina has not had an outbreak of the disease since 2006.

Newsweek has contacted the Department of Agriculture’s Office of Agricultural Affairs in Buenos Aires outside of regular hours for comment.

On Sunday, President Trump told reporters that the U.S. was considering importing “some beef” from Argentina, which would “ bring our beef prices down.”



In her interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Rollins noted that over 80 percent of the beef consumed in America is domestically produced. She said Argentina’s own production capacity would likely limit the impact of their imports on America’s overall supply, before adding that the Department of Agriculture (USDA) is monitoring the potential risks of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).

Argentina struggled with outbreaks of FMD—which affects cloven-hoofed animals and leads to reduced milk production, possible fever, and stunted growth—in the early 2000s. In May of this year, however, the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) declared the country a “FMD-free zone with vaccination,” meaning there are no active outbreaks, but that animals continue to receive inoculation as a precaution.
