Trump this week said the US would sell "so much" beef to Australia after Canberra announced the relaxation of restrictions, potentially smoothing trade talks with Washington.

By Kanishka Singh, Peter Hobson and Tom Polansek WASHINGTON/CANBERRA/CHICAGO (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said the U.S. will sell "so much" beef to Australia after Canberra relaxed import restrictions on Thursday,

Trump attacked Australian import restrictions on U.S. beef when he announced in April that tariffs of at least 10% would be placed on Australian imports, with steel and aluminum facing a 50% tariff. “Australia bans — and they’re wonderful people, and wonderful everything — but they ban American beef,” Trump told reporters then.
