Trump’s tariff reductions alienate ranchersPutting aside whether or not ranchers have a right to be protected any more than, say, artists:
Today the animals are worth hundreds of dollars less after President Donald Trump cut his tariffs to reduce the cost of living by bringing more foreign beef to US dinner tables.

That's why, rancher guy!
