The European Commission earlier said any beef deal will not increase overall beef imports and that all beef coming in would have to be hormone-free to respect EU food safety regulations. Any deal would have to be approved by the European Parliament.
This is good news.
I have a question though. So the deal is no hormones in the beef. That would require ranchers to have been anticipating this and have existing inventory have no hormones...do you think that happened?
And -- if not -- how long before they can get hormone free beef to the EU in numbers significant enough to make a difference in international trade.
It does sound like another of Trump's grandiose exaggerations after looking at that.
Bad news there: The EU still won't take the growth hormone beef that is a staple of the good ole' US burger industry.
Nor should they. It is one reason they are healthier than we are, they don’t allow the crap in their food that the US does. I wish the American consumer was better informed on how bad some of our food is. Manufactured to do only one thing and that is to make as much money as possible regardless of the health consequences for the consumer. Meanwhile the beef and dairy industry is trying to tell us we can’t call plant based option veggie burger or almond milk.
There is your transition market, farmers. Get some cows, and turn them loose on those soybean crops China isn't buying.
Agree with Waldo, Trump is negotiating and doing business, not "Kowtowing" to other countries that we also happen to buy much more stuff from, than they buy from us.

So it's not approved by European Parliament yet? That's kinda like proclaiming NAFTA 2.0 a win, as it sits without approval.

He joked IN the meeting about imposing vehicle tariffs, and said they are not off the table. He is not giving up his only weapon. He doesn't know how to negotiate, he knows how to threaten.

The silliness is that BMW has a big plant here so would not be subject to tariffs anyways.
I didn't realize all beef in the EU is hormone-free.... Yet their health isn't much better...
