Australia lifts U.S. beef import restrictions, boosting trade after a decade-long review.

Australia has lifted biosecurity restrictions on U.S. beef imports, allowing more American beef into the country. This move follows a decade-long scientific review and is seen as a potential bargaining chip for Australia to negotiate tariff exemptions from the U.S. The U.S. is Australia's top beef export market, and this decision aims to maintain their trading relationship amid President Trump's tariff regime. Despite concerns from some Australian stakeholders, industry representatives believe the domestic market will remain unaffected due to the country's self-sufficiency.
