Former Labor minister Bill Shorten has weighed in on Trump’s trade war and urged the government to “push back” harder with our own “dollar-for-dollar” tariffs on US products.
Anthony Albanese said “a range of propositions” have been sent to the US, but no reciprocal tariffs have been mentioned. Meanwhile, Peter Dutton has expressed concern that the US could impose more tariffs on other Australian goods, but said he does not think the government should retaliate.
