The U.S. President signed an executive order on September 4, 2026, directing federal support for American ranchers and their place in the domestic food supply chain.
The order, titled "Supporting America's Ranchers," was issued under authority granted by the Constitution and U.S. laws, according to the White House. It describes ranchers as vital to the food supply chain and credits them with providing a reliable domestic source of high-quality beef.
The White House also cited ranchers' role in American cultural heritage as a basis for the order. The document was published on the White House website under Presidential Actions.
