Australia Plans to Lift Import Curbs on US Beef to Pacify Trump
(Bloomberg) -- The Australian government has announced it intends to remove restrictions on US beef imports in a bid to appease President Donald Trump, who had highlighted Canberra's biosecurity measures as an unfair impediment to trade. Trump Awards $1.26 Billion Contract to Build Biggest Immigrant Detention Center in US Why the Federal Reserve's Building Renovation Costs $2.5 Billion The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom Milan Corruption Probe Casts Shadow Over Property Boom Agriculture Minister Julie Collins said the government will lift restrictions from next week on the import of red meat that originated in either Canada or Mexico and later slaughtered in the US. Australia barred US beef imports in 2003 following an outbreak of mad cow disease, and only eased some restrictions in 2019. Collins said in a statement on Thursday that there had been 'a rigorous science and risk-based assessment over the past decade' and the government now considered that 'the strengthened control measures put in place by the US effectively manage biosecurity risks.' Trump singled out Australia's refusal to take exports of US beef in April when he unveiled his 'reciprocal' tariffs. 'They're wonderful people and wonderful everything, but they ban American beef. Yet we imported $3 billion of Australian beef from them just last year alone,' Trump said in his 'Liberation Day' address on April 2. The US is one of Australia's largest markets for red meat, with beef shipments rising by 23% in June from a year earlier despite the current 10% tariff on all Australian exports to the US. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had previously said he wouldn't weaken Australia's biosecurity regime simply to satisfy Trump's demands.
