> I'm looking forward to eating some of the best steaks in the US.

Some of the ~150,000 metric tonnes of beef recently imported from Australia?

After tariffing all the meat exporting nations, the US steak will be the greatest steak in American.
Except that "America" is a continent, so you'd have to compare U.S. steak with all South American and North American steaks.
Yeah, all 2% of it. What is your message supposed to mean as a reply?

Is it some kind of gotcha if I eat Japanese A5 in the USA, but still say that USDA Prime is amazing?

Just a general note on quality and herd practices really.

US beef has only just reached Australian health & safety standards* after being banned for import into Australia for two decades.

* perhaps it's more the case that Australia has only just bowed to US tariff pressure to accept US meat that isn't up to Australian standards for herd health tracking.
