America’s steak prices aren’t being driven by “inflation” — they’re being driven by cartel power at the slaughterhouse. With just four firms controlling most U.S. beef processing, and two major players effectively controlled from Brazil, American ranchers get paid less, families pay more, and profits flow offshore. As Brazil exports and China buys, foreign demand can end up setting the price of dinner in the United States. That’s why President Trump has directed the DOJ to launch a full antitrust investigation to break the choke point and restore real competition in America’s food supply.
