The United States is planning to impose a 12.5 per cent tariff on goods from Australia, alleging the country has failed to take action to prevent slavery and forced labour.
Anthony Albanese says any tariff on Australian exports to the US is “unjustified and inconsistent” with the free trade agreements between the two allies.
Former Australian ambassador to the US Joe Hockey says Donald Trump is convinced that tariffs are beneficial to the US.
Exactly what I was thinking. The US is literally renowned for slavery-esque prison labour, yet Trump is the one trying to put an anti-slavery tariff on other countries?
I sincerely hope other countries do call the fake-tanned paedophile out on yet another tariff related grift.
Its not even “slavery-esque”, it is just a different type of slavery more akin to indentured servitude.
