Trump says US will sell 'so much' beef to Australia
25 July 2025 10:15 WASHINGTON/CANBERRA (REUTERS)The United States will sell "so much" beef to Australia, US President Donald Trump said on Thursday after Canberra relaxed import restrictions, adding that other countries that refused US beef products were on on Wednesday said it would loosen biosecurity rules for US beef, something analysts predicted would not significantly increase US shipments because Australia is a major beef producer and exporter whose prices are much lower."We are going to sell so much to Australia because this is undeniable and irrefutable Proof that US Beef is the Safest and Best in the entire World," Trump said in a post on Truth Social."The other Countries that refuse our magnificent Beef are ON NOTICE," the post has attempted to renegotiate trade deals with numerous countries he says have taken advantage of the United States - a characterisation many economists dispute."For decades, Australia imposed unjustified barriers on US beef," US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in a statement, calling Australia's decision a "major milestone in lowering trade barriers and securing market access for US farmers and ranchers."Australian officials say the relaxation of restrictions was not part of any trade negotiations but the result of a years-long assessment of US biosecurity has restricted US beef imports since 2003 due to concerns about bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease. Since 2019, it has allowed in meat from animals born, raised and slaughtered in the US but few suppliers were able to prove that their cattle had not been in Canada and Wednesday, Australia's agriculture ministry said US cattle traceability and control systems had improved enough that Australia could accept beef from cattle born in Canada or Mexico and slaughtered in the United decision has caused some concern in Australia, where biosecurity is seen as essential to prevent diseases and pests from ravaging the farm which imports more from the US than it exports, faces a 10% across-the-board US tariff from next month, as well 50% tariffs on steel and aluminium. Trump has also threatened to impose a 200% tariff on whether the change would help achieve a trade deal, Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell said: "I'm not too sure." "We haven't done this in order to entice the Americans into a trade agreement," he said. "We think that they should do that anyway."
