Australia doesn’t give a shit about trade with the US. They are less than 5% of our exports. They are the ones that lose in a trade war.
We care about trade with China and when China got petty and Trumpish we handled it fine by diversifying markets until they got over their hissy fit and returned to their senses.
Often the US is an aggressive competitor in our export markets and if they score some own goals in trade wars our exporters will take the advantage just like they do to us whenever they can.
The real problem is what this idiocy does to the global economy as that impacts everyone.
It’s wild that the US thinks it can do all this stuff domestically with natural resources it doesn’t even have.
99% of American bauxite is imported. Australia mined over 1000x more of it than the US did last year
