What specific conduct does the executive order target?

Question

Accepted Answer

That's correct—price-fixing and anticompetitive conduct. Price-fixing is when competitors coordinate to set prices rather than competing. The executive order claims meatpackers may be colluding to suppress prices paid to ranchers while inflating prices charged to consumers. AG Pam Bondi confirmed an investigation led by Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. But Trump rescinded Biden's meatpacker oversight order about three months before this announcement. A 2020 Trump DOJ investigation produced no major enforcement. Tyson paid $55 million and Cargill $32.5 million in Oct. 2025 to settle a consumer price-fixing lawsuit.
