minus-squaredarkdemize@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up16arrow-down1·10 hours agoThis math doesn’t compute. 22 tons is 44000 pounds, not 660 million pounds. Even if it were 44000 tons, that’s still only 88 million pounds, which is just over 13% of what the tweet claims.
minus-squareWhitebrow@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·9 hours agoWouldn’t this mean the original shipment from a few months ago that was routed was just 22 tons? Current stock volume being larger makes sense to me.
minus-squaredarkdemize@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 hours agoTough to say without seeing a source cited for the secondary claim.
minus-squareWhitebrow@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 hours agoWell idk which one is the secondary claim but here’s the one about the 660 million pounds of beef import, tariff free - https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117133120342300539 And here’s a random website about the Argentine beef shipment https://insights.tridge.com/speaker-product-news-reports/KJLyFXpzJzgKuB1Gqsm5QUKHGgR43AVdqLavuazshacgxXfEGkP7F5dT Whether or not any or all of that meat will be imported from said farms or regions, has not been specified as far as I’m aware. I wouldn’t put it past them though, especially with the whole 25% below market price thing.
