A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Trump puts tariffs of at least 10pc on imports, including from Australia (www.abc.net.au)

In short:

Donald Trump's newest round of tariffs mean virtually all imports to the US — including from Australia — will be hit with an import tax of at least 10 per cent.

Australia has avoided a higher "reciprocal" tariff rate, which is being placed on imports from specific countries deemed to have treated America poorly.

What's next?

Some of America's trading partners are preparing retaliatory measures, such as counter-tariffs. Australia says it would prefer to work through a dispute settlement process in the nations' free trade agreement, but hopes it doesn't come to that.

*Australia says it would prefer to work through a dispute settlement process *

Fuck that. You can't negotiate with an unhinged imbecile who changes his mind depending on who was the last person who spoke to him. Every world leader who bows down to trump just makes him worse.
