Summary
The U.S. just slapped a 12.5% tariff on Australian exports — claiming Australia isn’t doing enough to stop forced labor goods — but Australia’s trade minister and deputy PM are firing back, calling it unjust and inconsistent with their strong anti-forced labor laws and existing trade deal. The move also hits 54 economies, including China and Brazil, with others facing a 10% tariff for weaker enforcement. Exemptions exist for beef, aircraft parts, and some ag products — but Australia’s pushing back hard as the tariffs loom.
