NBC shared than an administration official told them that “The reason for this EO is there were discussions among certain processing companies (Tysons, for example) to keep only 20% of facilities open. The vast majority of processing plans could have shut down, reducing processing capacity in the country by as much as 80%.”
Trump hinted at the signing earlier in the Oval Office earlier today saying, “We’re going to sign an executive order today I believe and that will solve any liability problems.”
“We’re working with Tyson, which is one of the biggest companies in that world,” Trump added.
He said that he would probably “have that resolved today.”
Tyson previously bought a full page ad which shared that “the food chain is breaking,” and that "there will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed," Tyson wrote.
With the concerns, Trump reassured that there is “plenty of supply.”
