Argentina

Trump named Argentina as one of the beef sources on September 4. The August 26 proclamation’s additional quota was assigned to “other countries or areas,” and did not apply to countries with existing country-specific quotas; Argentina already had a separate beef quota, which the proclamation’s background says had been increased by 80,000 metric tons earlier in 2026. A separate August recall involved 29,628 pounds of Argentine beef that had entered without required import reinspection^1–5

Trump announced on August 21, 2026, a plan for up to 300,000 metric tons of imported beef for ground-beef production over 90 days, with the stated aim of lowering prices and giving the U.S. cattle herd room to grow. He declined to name the countries; the White House expected an implementing order within two weeks. On August 26, Trump signed a proclamation. On September 4, he named Argentina and Brazil as sources.
