The Australian government has announced it will lift biosecurity restrictions on beef imports from the United States. This move aims to ease trade tensions and potentially smooth ongoing trade talks with US President Donald Trump, who had previously criticized Australia's import rules. The decision to relax curbs on US beef imports is seen as an effort to defuse tariff disputes and improve bilateral trade relations. President Trump confirmed the agreement, stating that Australia has agreed to accept American beef and warned other countries refusing US beef that they are "on notice."
