In a follow-up proclamation, Trump said the February action had increased Argentine beef imports, but that domestic supply contraction and growing demand were still producing elevated prices. He ordered a separate 300,000-metric-ton temporary in-quota increase for eligible lean beef from other countries while leaving the Argentina allocation in place.
