US President Donald Trump singled out Australia as he unveiled his "Liberation Day" tariffs in April, accusing the close ally of banning American meat while cashing in on exports to the United States.

"Our farmers are blocked from selling almost anywhere. Europe won't let us sell beef, Australia won't let us sell beef," Lutnick said earlier this year.

Threatened with 10 percent tariffs on beef shipped to the United States, one of its largest red meat markets, Australia has now dropped these barriers.

"The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry is satisfied the strengthened control measures put in place by the US effectively manage biosecurity risks," she said in a statement.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been unusually frank in his condemnation of Trump's trade war against allies and foes alike.

Ractopamine is a feed additive used in the US, primarily in pigs and cattle, to promote muscle growth and improve feed efficiency. It's a controversial drug, as it's banned in many countries due to concerns about its effects on animal welfare and potential human health impacts. In the US, the FDA has deemed meat from ractopamine-fed animals safe for consumption when used according to label instructions.

Despite FDA approval, ractopamine is banned in over 160 countries due to concerns about potential health effects. Some studies suggest it may be carcinogenic and cause cardiovascular issues.
