华盛顿— 据一位政府高级官员透露，总统特朗普预计将于周五签署一项行政命令，根据与南美国家阿根廷的新贸易协议，将从阿根廷进口到美国的牛肉数量增加四倍。
阿根廷外交部在一份声明中写道，这项于周四签署的新协议将“为阿根廷牛肉进入美国市场提供史无前例的优惠准入扩展，规模达10万吨”，这意味着“阿根廷牛肉出口将增加8亿美元”。
政府官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，扩大进口是为了降低消费者的牛肉成本。
根据美联储的数据，过去几年牛肉价格飙升，12月达到每磅6.68美元的峰值。这是自美国劳工部1984年开始追踪价格以来牛肉价格的最高水平。
但代表美国牧场主的主要团体表示，增加进口是“错误的努力”，将损害“美国牧场主的生计，而对消费者在杂货店支付的价格影响甚微”。
去年10月，当扩大进口计划首次被报道时，美国全国牧场主牛肉协会表示，“我们不能支持总统，因为他通过进口阿根廷牛肉来影响价格，从而损害家庭农场主和牧场主的未来。”
该组织首席执行官科林·伍德尔表示：“特朗普总统和农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯必须让牛肉市场自由运作。”
特朗普总统此前曾敦促牧场主“降低价格”，以缓解消费者的压力。
特朗普在Truth Social上10月写道：“我所爱的牧场主们不明白，几十年来他们首次业绩如此出色的唯一原因是我对进入美国的牛肉征收了关税。如果没有我，他们就会像过去20年那样——糟糕透顶！希望他们能明白这一点。”
根据新贸易协议，美国计划取消对阿根廷多种商品（包括药品原料）的互惠关税，并审查对钢铁和铝的其他关税。
这项贸易协议可能会对特朗普的关键盟友、阿根廷总统米莱产生重大推动作用。
美国贸易代表杰米森·格里尔表示：“特朗普总统与米莱总统之间不断加深的伙伴关系，为美洲国家——从阿拉斯加到火地岛——如何推进共同目标、维护我们的经济和国家安全树立了典范。”

Trump to sign executive order quadrupling beef imports from Argentina
February 6, 2026 / 1:11 PM EST / CBS News
Washington— President Trump is expected to sign an executive order Friday that quadruples the amount of beef imported into the U.S. from Argentina under a new trade agreement with the South American country, according to a senior administration official.
Argentina’s Foreign Ministry wrote in a statement that the new agreement, which was signed Thursday, will “grant an unprecedented expansion of preferential access for Argentine beef to its market by 100,000 tons,” representing an increase of “$800 million in Argentine beef exports.”
The administration official told CBS News that expanding imports is part of an effort to lower beef costs for consumers.
The cost of beef has soared over the past several years, peaking at $6.68 per pound in December, according to the Federal Reserve. That is the highest level beef prices have reached since the Department of Labor started tracking prices in 1984.
But the main group representing American cattle ranchers has said the increase in imports is a “misguided effort” and will damage the “livelihoods of American cattlemen and women, while doing little to impact the price consumers are paying at the grocery store.”
In a statement in October, when plans for expanding imports were first reported, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association said it “cannot stand behind the President while he undercuts the future of family farmers and ranchers by importing Argentinian beef in an attempt to influence prices.”
“It is imperative that President Trump and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins let the cattle markets work,” said Colin Woodall, the group’s CEO.
President Trump previously prodded cattle ranchers to “get their prices down” in an effort to bring relief to consumers.
“The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don’t understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States,” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social in October. “If it weren’t for me, they would be doing just as they’ve done for the past 20 years — Terrible! It would be nice if they would understand that.”
Under the new trade agreement, the U.S. plans to remove reciprocal tariffs on a variety of goods from Argentina, including pharmaceutical ingredients, and review other tariffs on steel and aluminum.
The trade deal could be a significant boost for Argentine President Milei, a key ally of Mr. Trump’s.
“The deepening partnership between President Trump and President Milei serves as a model of how countries in the Americas, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, can advance our shared ambitions and safeguard our economic and national security,” U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said.
