Another Trump trade winner..

Trumps deal with Australia has allowed access for American beef to the Australian market for the first time. I wont go into the details. But US "Standards" have more holes than my underwear, including shipping cattle untested from Mexico and blending them into US herds.. But a deals a deal, although personally I wouldnt feed American beef to my tamed magpies.. But that was last weeks news..
Today, all major Australian supermarket chains made a joint announcement that they will NOT stock any US beef.. Sometimes the market gets it right..😷

@akindheart I am all for free trade..But the way the US meat supply chain is handled from top to bottom is a bad joke..Which is fine with me as long as the joke stays on Americans. But even US fast burger chains blend Australian beef into the fatty, hormone and antibiotic containing American meat to make it taste better. Over here McDs and the rest all make a sales point of 100% Australian beef..I dont want my grandkids, becoming antibiolic resistant or messing with their hormone levels or building up pesticide residues in their bodies..😷
