President Donald Trump returned home from China to a politically-fraught domestic policy challenge that has vexed top aides for months: sky-high beef prices. The White House must now decide how to proceed with an executive order to temporarily ease tariffs on imported beef " a move that was delayed earlier this week amid intense backlash from farm-state lawmakers and industry allies. The executive order could help lower prices for consumers, though by how much remains uncertain. Doing so would simultaneously drive up competition for American ranchers as they face a host of higher costs brought on, in part, by the Iran war.
