U.S. President Donald Trump plans to sign executive orders aimed at easing high beef prices, which have hit record highs this year due in part to a historically low cattle supply constrained by drought and wildfires. The orders will allow cattle ranchers to protect their herds against gray wolves, as well as make it easier for them to sell food they've processed themselves, currently restricted under federal food safety laws. Additionally, Trump will take steps to require country-of-origin labelling for imported beef, a move that some ranchers have long sought in order to support domestic producers and provide more transparency to consumers. The dispute over beef labelling spans decades, dating back to 2009 when the U.S. required retailers to mark food with origin labels, but was challenged by Canada and Mexico who argued it disadvantaged their cattle and pigs.
