It's a waiting game for our meat industry - with US tariffs looming large. 

President Donald Trump has confirmed tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China will begin in the coming hours. 

He's recently claimed agricultural products are next in the firing line for tariffs as early as April. 

Meat Industry Association chair, Nathan Guy, says our industry's ridden the wave of geopolitical uncertainty before.

"We export to about 120 countries around the world and we're very agile and nimble - I guess I'd like to think that our relationship is very strong with the US."
