WASHINGTON (AP) —President Trump and Kansas U.S. Senator Roger Marshall are celebrating Australia's announcement that it will reduce restriction on US beef imports.
“Now, we are going to sell so much to Australia because this is undeniable and irrefutable Proof that U.S. Beef is the Safest and Best in the entire World,” the president said in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Australian Agriculture Minister Julie Collins said Thursday that relaxing the restrictions designed to keep the country free of mad cow disease, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy or BSE, would not compromise biosecurity.
“Australia stands for open and free trade — our cattle industry has significantly benefited from this,” Collins said in a statement.
