Their disagreement reached a fever pitch in July when then-press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Trump\u2019s \u201cpatience is running out\u201d with Thune.<\/p><p>The Senate majority leader also broke with Trump on local issues: Thune \u2014 whose home state ranks fifth in the nation for its number of beef cows \u2014 was critical of the administration\u2019s recent move to pause U.S. tariffs on ground beef imports. The new policy drew pushback from some cattle farmers who worry it will undercut domestic beef prices amid a multiyear cattle shortage.<\/p><p>\u201cHe\u2019s trying to lower beef prices, which I think we\u2019re all supportive of. I just don\u2019t think this is the way to do it,\u201d Thune told local <span><u>TV station Keloland<\/u><\/span> on Tuesday. \u201cWe have a lot of beef producers here in South Dakota, they produce the highest-quality beef in the world, and we\u2019re trying to build our herds back up.\u201d<\/p><p>Thune pushed back on Trump\u2019s recent call to <span><u>\u201clet data reign\u201d<\/u><\/span> and embrace the construction of artificial intelligence data centers \u2014 an increasingly unpopular stance across both parties that has entered multiple midterm campaigns. The president said Monday that Americans should accept the construction of data centers in their areas unless \u201cthey want to end up being backwards and poor.\u201d<\/p><p>The Senate majority leader said companies should not be building those facilities in areas where residents are resistant, although he acknowledged the United States\u2019 race with China to dominate the AI market. South Dakota in March <span><u>passed a law<\/u><\/span> putting limits on industry construction.<\/p><p>\u201cThese entities need to be self-sufficient,\u201d Thune said. \u201cThey ought to be able to take care of their own utilities, their own power, and that ought to be a given any place they go in the country.
