Figures (AL-02) announced that he plans to introduce legislation to reverse President Trump’s plan to allow up to 300,000 metric tons of foreign ground beef to enter the United States tariff-free over the next 90 days—a move that gives little to no relief to consumers and serves as a significant disadvantage to American cattle farmers. Congressman Figures has continuously pushed to help American farmers. For example, he introduced the Tariff Impacted Farmer Support Act of 2026 to temporarily authorize up to $15 billion in relief for family farms in direct response to Trump’s $20 billion taxpayer bailout to the Government of Argentina while American agricultural producers are facing measurable financial strain. | 1 | 2026-08-27T16:10:01Z | 2026-08-27T16:10:50Z |
