Senate strikes down Biden move allowing potentially diseased beef into US
Fox News
The Senate voted in favor of a bipartisan resolution Thursday blocking the Department of Agriculture's action lifting the ban on Paraguayan beef imports.
Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"President Biden butchered this decision," Tester said in a statement after the bill passed. "By cutting corners to resume beef imports from a country with a recent history of foot-and-mouth disease, the Biden Administration is jeopardizing our food supply and giving Montana consumers and producers a raw deal."
"We cannot allow beef imports from Paraguay until we have data that shows they are meeting the same high animal health standards as American ranchers, and I’m proud to have secured bipartisan support in the Senate to force the Biden administration to reverse course."
