USDA Hails Deal as Victory for American Farmers, Signals Broader Trade Push
President Donald J. Trump achieved a significant trade breakthrough, securing greater market access for U.S. beef producers in Australia, the USDA announced.
The deal, celebrated by Agriculture Secretary Brooke L. Rollins, dismantles non-scientific trade barriers that blocked American beef exports for two decades, citing concerns like mad cow disease.
Rollins called the restrictions “absurd,” emphasizing the safety and quality of U.S. beef.
This move, part of President Trump’s “Make Agriculture Great Again” initiative, aims to bolster American farmers amid a $50 billion agricultural trade deficit.
Australian demand for U.S. beef may pickup due to a marginal difference in currency, regardless the deal signals a broader push to open global markets.
With Rollins planning trade missions to Japan, Vietnam, and beyond, this victory underscores agriculture’s role in President Trump’s economic agenda, promising prosperity for rural America.
