As Albanese Plans Trump Talks, Jim Is Worried About His Farm

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese plans to meet US President Donald Trump in June to discuss a trade deal including US beef imports and tariff exemptions.
The talks follow longstanding US objections to Australia's beef import restrictions, which are rooted in biosecurity concerns after the 2003 mad cow outbreak.
Australia is reviewing its strict biosecurity laws and traceability standards to consider allowing US-slaughtered beef from cattle born in Canada or Mexico, but only if disease risks are not compromised.
Albanese stated on ABC radio that safeguarding Australia’s biosecurity is non-negotiable and remains the highest priority, emphasizing that no concessions will be made in this area because the risks are too great.
The discussions could affect Australia’s $81.7 billion red meat industry, where officials and industry leaders warn against weakening biosecurity while expressing willingness to negotiate with bipartisan support.
