The senators sent a letter to Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin to request a formal review of the transactions of Brazilian meat-processing conglomerate, JBS S.A. Angela Huffman, the Communications and Research Director for the Organization for Competitive Markets (OCM), spoke to Fox News about JBS S.A. and its impact on American farmers.
