传统上支持特朗普的农业行业领袖们正敦促总统撤回其进口计划。特朗普总统曾押注增加牛肉进口能降低价格，从而减轻愤怒的牧场主带来的政治打击。然而，他的赌注并未奏效。
Agriculture industry leaders who’ve traditionally backed Trump are pushing the president to roll back his import plan. President Donald Trump gambled that importing more beef would lower prices enough to mitigate the political hit from angry ranchers. His bet hasn’t paid off.
价格几乎没有变动，牧场主们依然愤怒，而爱荷华州、堪萨斯州、内布拉斯加州和德克萨斯州的脆弱共和党人正努力说服农村选民在十一月投票，因为农民们正面临总统政策引发的经济逆风。
Prices have barely budged, ranchers remain incensed, and vulnerable Republicans in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Texas are fighting to convince rural voters to turn out in November as farmers confront economic headwinds fueled by the president’s policies.
堪萨斯州农业局主席、第五代农民兼畜牧业者格伦·布伦科表示：“这里充满了挫折感和愤怒。”
“There’s a lot of frustration and anger,” said Glenn Brunkow, the president of the nonpartisan Kansas Farm Bureau and a fifth-generation farmer and stockman in deep-red Pottawatomie County.
