Albanese Slams Trump’s Tariff Threat on Australian Steel and Aluminium

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has strongly criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to double tariffs on Australian steel and aluminium if he returns to office.

Speaking out firmly, Albanese labeled the plan as “damaging and unjustified,” warning that such protectionist measures would strain the long-standing trade and strategic alliance between Australia and the United States.

“This proposal flies in the face of fair trade principles,” Albanese said. “Australia has always been a reliable and responsible trading partner. Imposing punitive tariffs on our exports is not only unfair—it risks economic harm on both sides.”
