The Senate voted on Thursday to pass a bill that would overturn the Biden administration's recent actions allowing beef imports from Paraguay, a country with a history of cattle-borne illness. The vote, with a margin of 70-25, approved the Congressional Review Act resolution, making it veto-proof.
The bipartisan resolution, introduced by Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Mike Rounds, R-S.D., in February, received widespread support from cattle and farm industry groups. They raised concerns about the potential negative impact on the U.S. food supply due to the Department of Agriculture's decision to allow Paraguayan beef imports.
