Australian Trade Minister: Banned meat exporters having a minor technical issue with China
|Australian Trade Minister Simon Birmingham tries to de-escalate the fresh tensions between Australia and China by saying, he “believes Australian meat exporters having "minor technical breaches" with China.”
Further comments
“Clear that exporters ought to be able to resolve these issues.“
“There should be a thorough investigation and inquiry into coronavirus breakout.”
“Believes suspension of Australian exports not related to coronavirus inquiry.“
“No case that Australia’s grain growers are remotely subsidized by government in any way.”
