Argentine farmers are renewing their vote of confidence in President Javier Milei ahead of Sunday's midterm elections, a crucial sector that the government relies on to generate much-needed foreign currency.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he “loved” America’s cattle ranchers. But farmers, who overwhelmingly supported the president in the 2024 election, say they aren’t feeling the love right now.

Brooke Rollins on Tuesday defended a Trump administration plan that has ignited criticism from farm groups and some Republicans.

Politicians, ranchers, industry experts and even Argentina’s own former undersecretary of Agricultural Markets agree that importing Argentinian beef is unlikely to lower U.S. grocery prices. That’s because Argentina consumes more beef than any other country per capita, meaning they only have so much left over to export. (9)
