Trump vows to disrupt meat-processing monopoly after Beck push

TL;DR Summary
After Glenn Beck pressed him, Trump said he would draft legal action to break the four-firm meat-processing cartel that controls about 85% of U.S. processing and allow ranchers to process their own meat; current law requires sold meat to be processed in inspected facilities, though the PRIME Act would exempt some facilities from inspections. The move intersects with tariff backlash on beef and ongoing regulatory debates, with officials signaling forthcoming steps to ease red tape and expand cross-state meat sales.
