Australia will ‘examine all options’ to avoid new 15% tariffs announced by Donald Trump

AI Summary

short article 1 min

Following Donald Trump's announcement of a temporary 15% tariff on US imports from all countries, Australia's Trade Minister Don Farrell stated that Australia will "examine all options" in response. The announcement came shortly after the US Supreme Court overturned Trump's original 10% import tariff. Trump then reinstated the 10% duties using a different law before increasing them to 15%. Australia has consistently opposed these tariffs, deeming them "unjustified." The Australian government is now considering its next steps in light of the new trade levies imposed by the US.
