US drops reciprocal tariff on Argentine beef in further quota expansion

The Trump administration announced on November 13, 2025, that it would drop the reciprocal tariff on Argentine beef and further boost the quota, according to Roll Call reporting. The move came despite sustained opposition from Republican senators in cattle-producing states and both major beef industry trade groups. The administration framed the decision as a benefit for consumers and part of a broader trade relationship with Argentine President Javier Milei, whose economic program Trump had publicly praised.
