The U.S. Senate voted 70-25 to block the Biden Administration's decision to allow beef imports from Paraguay, with a significant majority. This decision, led by Senators Jon Tester and Mike Rounds, aimed to overturn the administration's rule which was seen as a threat to U.S. food security and the domestic beef industry. The bipartisan Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution received strong opposition from the Biden administration but garnered enough support to pass as a veto-proof majority. Senators emphasized the resolution's importance in protecting U.S. ranchers and ensuring consumer safety, highlighting the high-quality beef produced in the U.S. and the need for stringent oversight on imports.
I’m glad to see the U.S. Senate adopt a bipartisan resolution I helped introduce to block the Biden Administration’s ill-advised attempt to allow the importation of beef from Paraguay. It’d hurt Nevada’s ranchers & cattlemen, and I’m always going to put our state first.
The Biden Administration's decision to lift a longstanding ban on beef imports from Paraguay poses a real threat to our food security and real risk to MT producers and consumers. With today’s overwhelming vote on my bipartisan CRA resolution, we're forcing them to reverse course. https://t.co/Zas76z9Ow2
Our resolution to overturn the Biden Admin’s decision to allow beef imports from Paraguay passed the Senate. We’re one step closer to protecting producers & consumers from this rule that uses outdated information allowing imports from Paraguay without appropriate oversight. https://t.co/gle5IpzBzY
This CRA will overturn the Biden admin decision to allow beef imports from Paraguay. It's about supporting U.S. ranchers, who produce the highest-quality beef in the world while ensuring U.S. consumers have safe & affordable beef to feed their families. https://t.co/NZbwCrASiN
NEW: Today the Senate passed my resolution to reinstate the longstanding ban on Paraguayan beef imports & keep our food supply safe. The Administration should’ve never repealed it in the first place. I'll always fight for Ohio farmers & cattlemen — the best in the world.

BREAKING: The Senate just passed my bipartisan CRA resolution to overturn the Biden Administration's attempt to reinstate beef imports from Paraguay. The Administration butchered this decision—so we're forcing them to reverse course to protect Montana's producers and consumers.
70-25, Senate votes to disapprove rule allowing imports of fresh beef from Paraguay into the United States. That's a veto-proof majority Biden admin "strongly opposes" the move, which was led by Tester and Rounds
Later today, the Senate will vote to block a rule related to the "Importation of Fresh Beef From Paraguay." It's led by @jontester. https://t.co/CP6WGVX9St https://t.co/UdnJpIMrwe
