The federal government is still making representations to the United States for Australia to avoid tariffs on exports like steel and aluminium, as Donald Trump announces 25% import duties on those goods this morning. We’ve reached out to trade minister Don Farrell’s office for comment on Trump’s latest announcement.
Farrell and his colleagues have been seeking to make Australia’s case to avoid such tariffs in 2025, the same as the then-Turnbull government got exemptions from tariffs in Trump’s first term; Guardian Australia understands that remains the case, and senior government members have been making representations for Australia to not be hit with tariffs. Defence minister Richard Marles has been in the US over the weekend meeting with senior Trump administration officials.
