"Australia will “examine all options” after the US president Donald Trump
announced a temporary 15% tariff would apply to US imports from all countries.
The US president’s move came less than 24 hours after the US supreme court
overturned his original 10% import tariff. Shortly after the ruling, Trump
announced he was reinstating the 10% duties using a different law before
raising it again to 15%.
In a brief statement on Sunday morning, the trade minister, Don Farrell, said
he was working closely with Australia’s embassy in Washington to “assess the
implications and examine all options”.
“Australia believes in free and fair trade,” he said.
“We have consistently advocated against these unjustified tariffs.”
Farrell will travel to Los Angeles week for the G’Day USA event, where he is
expected to meet with senior US government officials."
