Australia Pushes Back on US Tariffs | Perth News
Description
Australia’s bristling at new U.S. tariffs—hiked from 10% to 12.5% starting Friday—targeting 60 countries, including Australia, under Trump’s “forced labor crackdown.” While the U.S. insists it’s enforcing global standards, Australia’s Deputy PM Richard Marles pushes back, calling for fair trade, not punitive taxes. Australia’s already strengthened its anti-slavery laws, imposing new penalties on big corporations, as global estimates reveal 50 million people still trapped in modern slavery. Trade and human rights collide in this high-stakes diplomatic tug-of-war.
