Trade Minister Don Farrell says he plans to work with other countries to try to offset the potential impact that Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs are likely to have on global trade. Farrell met with the World Trade Organisation’s recently re-appointed director-general Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on the sidelines of an economics conference in Singapore on Monday, with the two reaffirming the need to maintain free and fair trade, while he has indicated Australia will stress the expensive military purchases it is making from the US as part of the AUKUS treaty to make the case that Australian commodities should escape US tariffs.
