Australia to push for tariff removal
Australia will still press the case for removing all US tariffs, the trade minister says after being spared an increase by Donald Trump. Tariffs on most Australian exports will remain at a baseline 10 per cent rate despite the US hiking levies on other nations. Trade Minister Don Farrell said the US president had resisted calls from some within his ranks to increase Australia’s rate to 15 or 20 per cent.
