Congressman Pushes Back on Beef Imports | Huntsville News

Congressman Shomari Figures just dropped a fiery new bill to stop President Trump’s beef import move—aiming to block 300,000 metric tons of cheap foreign beef from flooding U.S. markets and crushing American farmers already battling rising costs. The Protecting American Beef Producers Act would force all imported beef to pay full tariffs and fees, and require Congress—not the President—to approve any future tariff rollbacks. Figures is doubling down on farm support, calling for a House hearing to probe how this policy threatens the national herd and beef supply chain. While the White House hasn’t named the countries or sellers involved, GOP voices like Senator Katie Britt and major ag groups are rallying behind the bill—setting up a high-stakes showdown in Congress over trade, agriculture, and who gets to control America’s beef destiny.
