Trump claims Aussie beef win as Labor denies trade-off
Donald Trump claims that the Australian leaders say that the movement has nothing to do with the ongoing commercial negotiations, but that the US has reduced biogugural restrictions on beef.
The US President forces to compromise a series of countries after revealing comprehensive tariffs in imports, including a 10 percent ratio for Australian goods.
Washington officials complained about non -tariff trade barriers, including long -standing restrictions on the beef of the US goods to be sent to Australia.
Trump has reported other countries that declare the import of beef imports to the United States “Australia will sell too much” and beef.
“Years later, Australia agreed to accept American beef!” He published the truth on the social platform.
“The farmers of all our country, who are some of the most working and the most wonderful people, smile today, so I smile.”
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said that the president was “determined to face unfair trade practices”.
“Australia’s decision to unlock market access for US beef is a direct result of its leadership,” he said.
The Australian government argues that the decision was indifferent to any commercial negotiations and followed a ten -year -old biomulity study on US beef after the 2003 MAD Cow disease epidemic.
Health Minister Mark Butler said on Friday on Friday, “Nothing in the timing, a change in American practices for the last six or nine months reflects a change that was considered independently by our authorities.
“As far as I understand, the Americans have made new arrangements.”
In 2019, a blanket ban for the import of US beef was abolished, but there were restrictions on the products obtained from cattle grown with Canada or Mexico.
Since the wholesale ban was removed, only small amounts have been imported to Australia.
Craig Huf, a cattle manufacturer from Upper Barringbar on the North Coast of NSW, said that large amounts of imported beef is not expected to reach the Australian market due to low -record US herd.
“The United States is already importing bucket loads from Australia, so it’s not likely to return,” said Mr. Huf, President of the Local NSW Farmer Association Branch, on Friday.
“So, in the short term, we probably don’t expect him to affect us.”
However, the association requires independent review of the decision to secure the biogeneity risks of the government’s producers.
Huf, Australia has some of the best biomuality protocols in the world, and the product is usually purchased because of its clean, green appearance, ”he said.
“So this is quite risky, but we hope that science is true and that government policies are not sacrificed lambs.”
Katie Mcrobert, Executive Director of the Australian Farm Institute, said that the cattle industry is “extremely tense ından about biogugur -traceability from different parts of north and South America.
“We do not expect a significant impact on the potential of importing American beef on Australian manufacturers… Because we produce more beef than we can eat in Australia,” he said.
Experts warned that Australia’s removal of restrictions on US beef may not be enough to change the dial in tariff negotiations.
The Philippines and Japan have recently made agreements with the US to reduce tariff rates, but the goods of both countries are still taxed above the 10 percent base lines.
AMP Chief economist Shane Oliver said Australia may be lucky to rely on the basic rate in the context of other agreements.
Former US Ambassador Arthur Sinodinos said that the biogugree investigations may take some time to conclude, it is a logical result.
However, he called on Australia to create a comprehensive package to improve bargaining in an attempt to make a trade agreement.
