Tariffs: Australian PM expects ‘one-on-one’ discussion with Trump

Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese on Sunday said that he expected to have a one-on-one discussion with US President, Donald Trump on tariffs.

This is as Washington prepares to announce new tariffs on its trading partners on April 2.

Concerns brewed that Australia could be affected by the looming escalation in the Trump administration’s global trade war when it unveils the reciprocal tariffs on so-called “liberation day.

News360 Info reports that Trump this month imposed steel and aluminium tariffs that affect Australian exports.

When asked about the possibility of speaking with Trump on the issue, the prime minister said, “We’ll have a one-on-one discussion.

A couple of weeks ago, the reason that didn’t occur was because the president made a decision to not talk to anyone and impose this regime on every country.
