Trump commerce secretary makes WTF claim on Fox News about America's 'beautiful' beef
Summary
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick defended Trump’s sweeping tariffs on over 180 countries during a Fox News interview, bizarrely claiming Europe rejects U.S. beef because “our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak.”
Critics quickly pointed out that EU restrictions on hormone- and antibiotic-treated meat drive the policy.
Lutnick falsely claimed the U.S. “can’t sell rice to Asia,” despite USDA data showing strong exports to parts of the region.
As economists warn of rising consumer costs, Lutnick’s remarks drew widespread mockery on social media.

US beef is objectively awful.
US beef from the right ranch can be amazing, but almost all of the commercially grown beef that you'll find in a groceru store is grain fed to death
US is objectively awful
Everybody is having beef with the us
"our stuff is so good they don't want it" is coping pretty hard.
Agreed. It's literally poison. We don't allow chlorine in our chicken. We don't allow hormones in our beef. I don't think it's about how big and beautiful it is, lol. That Lutnik guy just goes on TV and lies his ass off.
Sad that so many Murcans believe and vote for people like him. WTF.
So, what I'm gathering from this is that he wants to have sex with cattle - but only the ones from the US.
Sounds about right for someone in the Trump circle.
Well you can get a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a bulls ass...
He wants the BBC. Big beautiful cattle. Yummy.
That's a guy you don't want to leave alone with your sheep.
You think our beef is beautiful, wait til you see our mutton 🤤🍆💦
Nuttin' for the mutton
Stupid sexy beef....drools

Yeah, your beef is not so good pal. Sorry. Same with your dairy.
Hormone-infused garbage.
Or any other food.
I didn't hear the tone he used, but I think "the US can't sell rice to Asia" is intentionally racist hyperbole. Like selling a ketchup Popsicle to a woman in white gloves. Except, ya know, racist (or at least xenophobic), instead of sexist.
Does hormone gifts make beef that beautiful?
nutlick lies again, film at 11.
