Trump described US beef as the “best in the world” while expressing his approval of the change.
Australia had placed a ban on US beef imports for over 20 years following a bovine spongiform encephalopathy outbreak, or mad cow disease, which is known to cause fatal brain diseases in humans.
Employment Minister Amanda Rishworth explained the ban had been lifted after a decade-long review.
“A review was conducted, and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry now believes that adequate controls are in place in the US to lift that ban,” she mentioned on Today on Thursday.
Trump also used his Truth Social post to send a message to other countries that also had restrictions on US beef: “The other Countries that refuse our magnificent Beef are ON NOTICE”.
