At least Trump is standing up and putting his country 1st. America's economy is booming.Pitty albo and his morons don't do the same
@
Its a pity that our moronic idiot of a PM has no intention of making Australia great again, Trump never said he would make our country great, he is making America great again, our Government is a shit show.
@
If albo acted like a real leader and helped u.s campaign against Iran, pretty sure we would of been in a better place in trade. I'm fine trump punish Australia for having a left leader.
@
why isn't Australia putting a tariff back on America, Trump wants Australia and other countries to pay for the iran war, because Trump has grossly over spent.
@
So, were getting all all of these big procfitable deals done and they still need fo.increase taxes? Sounds like a government with a big hole in its pocket. Those tarrics are brinv record levels of new and returned industry through manufacturing jobs. This ommunist regime is a joke. Out with Labor. The soo ed the better for everybody.

SkyNews is in a difficult position, they need to maintain their facade that their allegiance is towards Australia, while keeping their Masters in Washington and Tel Aviv happy. Poor bastards 😂

USA is going into survival mode.
Its ship is sinking and the rats are fleeing.
It have $39.7 trillion in debts.

Trump will be the catalyst for accelerating the decline of the US led liberal international order, requiring nations to bare the weight of their choices and consciousness, while forcing countries to bear the burden of a new, highly competitive unpredictable reality, into a more contentious, multipolar world.

They are justified because the Australian government is communist. Tariffs should be increased.

Australia deserves 25% but His Excellency is being lenient. Australia must now give up land as thanks for the leniency. Heil Trump

Maybe Australia need to cancel the Sub Agreement that will not deliver anything to Australia and close down the northern Bases, and scrap the free trade Agreement as it not worth the paper it written on, after 100 years of support American wars, i think its time Australia seek its own alliances now.
@
Good.
@
Canberra hasn't been serious about Australian security and upholding national identity. I don't see why USA shouldn't charge Canberra more tariffs.
