Labour has slammed the Government for not getting a better trade deal out of the current Trump administration.
New Zealand currently has to pay a 10 percent tariff on all imports on New Zealand products out of the US.
But the opposition has claimed the Government is failing Kiwis by 'being comfortable' with a 10 percent tariff.
Former trade negotiator Stephen Jacobi says the Government is watching and consulting with trading partners.
"It's doing all those right sort of things. You have to remember that we are being charged as an additional tariff at the lowest end of the scale - we don't have a lot to offer the United States."
