Trump heads to Nebraska on Monday, where his plan to import more beef has angered ranchers
Trump's beef import plan sparks rancher backlash ahead of Nebraska visit.
Context
What happened: Trump went to Nebraska on Monday and signed an executive order easing limits on tax-free use of red-dyed diesel, calling it a saving for farmers and a way to lower goods costs.
Key numbers: Trump cited more than $100 saved per trucker fill-up; a 32-day rally blitz before Nov.
Why it matters: Nebraska ranchers have pushed back on the administration's plan to import more foreign beef, and Gov. Pete Ricketts urged the White House to change that policy. Diesel prices have spiked since the Iran war, pressuring Republicans.
