Trump just made it easier to import hundreds of millions of pounds of frozen beef trimmings — the raw material used to make ground beef — without saying which countries most of that meat is coming from.

When reporters first asked, the President wouldn't answer. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said twice that she wasn't part of those conversations. Weeks later, the administration finally named two source countries, Argentina and Brazil, while still declining to name the rest.

That timing matters. Just days before Brazil was named, the European Union suspended meat imports from Brazil over how antibiotics are used in its cattle. Brazil also has a documented food safety history: in 2017, investigators raided meatpacking plants after finding that inspectors had allegedly been bribed to let contaminated meat through.

Beef trimmings are exactly the part of the cow where dangerous bacteria like E. coli are most likely to end up. That's why the United States built a whole system of testing, holding, and recordkeeping just for this cut of meat. But that system wasn't designed to handle a sudden 90-day surge of 660 million pounds from largely unnamed foreign suppliers.

This isn't about banning imports. It's about making sure the safety rules that already protect American consumers actually keep up with the volume coming in. Tell the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to fully test every shipment entering under this tariff waiver, publish the results, and make every source country public.

Sign the petition to demand full testing and transparency on imported beef — before contaminated meat reaches American dinner tables.
