Show Notes
US President Donald Trump has singled out Australia’s beef trade as part of his announcement that the United States would impose a 10 percent global tariff as well as 'reciprocal tariffs' on many countries.
Australia banned US beef in 2003 to protect the country from mad cow disease, foot and mouth disease and other conditions.
Trump claimed that if Australia doesn't want their beef, the US will stop taking it from Australia.
Australian correspondent Murray Olds says Australia, like many other countries, prefers to be thorough to avoid biosecurity concerns.
