Australian beef exporters are being described as ‘lopsided and unfair’ by American farmers. 

Over 20 years, the trade deficit between the two countries is thought to be $45 billion – America is hoping tariffs will fix that.  

Beef + Lamb Chair Kate Acland told Mike Hosking New Zealand is not the target of America's proposed tariffs.

She says the Americans’ concern is over “unfair trading practices”, and New Zealand plays with a really straight bat.  

Acland says there’s no restrictions on American meat coming into New Zealand, our farmers and exports aren’t subsidised, and our exchange rate isn’t manipulated.
