Donald Trump hits Australian exports to US with new higher trade tariff over claims of ‘forced labour’
Donald Trump imposed new 12.5% tariffs on Australian exports, citing concerns over forced labour, but Australia's trade minister and Albanese government argue the tariffs are unjustified and inconsistent with their free trade agreement. Key Australian exports like beef and gold are reportedly exempt from the tariff regime.
