Seems that Mcdonalds are trying to recreate the success of the Burger King Angus burger in the UK over in the US?
I have no idea how successful the Angus Burger was but I would assume it must have been, either that or Mcdonalds are getting desperate for ideas.

To be fair to them, it might simply be a matter of them recognizing Angus meat as being the most flavoursome cost effective meat for a burger. It may well have been too expensive to import the meat into the US back in the day also. And I can well imagine there was little interest in the breed from Americans, who probably too a "US meat is Best" approach. Especially after mad cow disease... However, since then chefs around the world and food connoisseurs have been raving about the meat, and it's now gained in popularity all over the world. I imagine McDonalds have many farms breeding certified Angus on home shores now, which is why they are able to do this.
BK's premium product tastes far superior than McDonald's currently,
that must piss them off, which is why they are doing this.
I can see Angus beef becoming very popular in the US, there's
no better advert for the breed than this.I can also see BK in the US following suit and making efforts to bring the Angus to the US also. They will have to if McDonald's start selling a Angus burger.
