The United States confirmed a new 12.5 per cent tariff on Australian exports, effective from Friday afternoon (AEST). This rate replaces the existing 10 per cent baseline levy. The Trump administration stated the action was taken in response to the failure to effectively prohibit goods produced with forced labour. Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles stated the Australian government was disappointed with the tariff increases.
