Trump now looming even larger over the federal election. These are choppy waters for Australia | Arthur Sinodinos

There was never any doubt that Australia would face further Trump tariffs, and the president delivered with another 10% on our exports to the US .

We must pivot to a stronger, more resilient economy and enhanced partnerships with like-minded democracies in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
