Throw Another Burger on the Barbie: Trump Wins Again As Australia Lifts Import Ban on US Beef

Anyone who has played sports at a competitive level knows that streaks happen — both losing streaks and winning streaks. 

And anyone who has paid even a modicum of attention to the first six months of Donald Trump's presidency knows that this president remains on a winning streak the likes of which no other president in U.S. history has experienced.

The latest win in Trump's incredible winning streak comes from Down Under with the left-wing Labor government of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese pulling off and incredible and surprising backflip by announcing the end of all restrictions against American beef imports in a move Trump's White House hailed as a major victory over “non-scientific trade barriers” that had left U.S. farmers “on the sidelines” for two decades.

Australia’s Agriculture Minister Julie Collins said in a statement seen by AP that lifting the restrictions  – originally put in place as part of an effort to protect the country from mad cow disease – would mean a more open and competitive marketplace Down Under.

Trump criticized Australian import restrictions on U.S. beef in April as he announced that tariffs of at least 10 percent would be placed on Australian imports, with tariffs on steel and aluminum at 50 percent.
