Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — New Mexico lawmakers are pushing back against a Trump administration plan to expand beef imports from Argentina. The proposal would quadruple the current quota, allowing up to 80,000 metric tons of beef into the U.S. annually. Critics, including Reps. Leger Fernández, Stansbury, and Vasquez, say the plan favors foreign producers and risks destabilizing domestic cattle markets. The administration says the move is aimed at easing high beef prices.
