Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry CEO Andrew McKellar has called on the federal government to not give in to possible demands from the Trump administration to impose trade restrictions on China. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the government’s view is that free and fair trade is a good thing, and that Australia’s trade relationship with China is an important one. Opposition leader Peter Dutton says Australia needs to have a strong trading relationship with China, while Trade Minister Don Farrell has restarted negotiations with the European Union on a free-trade agreement.
