U.S. livestock: Cattle futures sink on concerns over Trump’s push to lower prices

Chicago | Reuters – U.S. cattle futures tumbled on Monday, extending a steep slide after President Donald Trump complained last week that prices were too high. Traders said they were increasingly expecting that Trump’s administration will encourage more imports of beef and cattle in a bid to offset tight U.S. supplies and bring down prices
