Show Notes
It's unclear if Australia will hit the US with counter-tariffs after Donald Trump's recent announcement.
The US President has confirmed Australia won't be exempt from new tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from tonight.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the tariffs 'entirely unjustified'.
Australian political strategist Bruce Hawker says locals know it's probably not worth fighting over.
"Most Australians will be saying - look, let's let this thing ride. It's not good, it's an act of b*******, I guess, by a country that's been friendly and loyal to Australia."
