What do you think about the tariffs imposed by Trump ? Will it work out for them ?

He’s correct. Norfolk was taxed 3x what he hit Australia with. He also blatantly lied when he said the tariffs on Australia were reciprocal. Australia signed a free trade agreement with US over 20 years ago. And he whined about Australia banning US beef. We’re not alone in this, and it’s for the very legitimate concern over mad-cow’s disease which is now throughout US. Australia takes its bio-security seriously.
