Australia says US trade investigators made findings without evidence

Australia has voiced strong objection to the Trump administration's plan to impose a 12.5% tariff on Australian imports, arguing that the basis for this proposal lacks evidence. The Australian embassy in Washington highlighted the lack of substantiation for these trade investigations, suggesting they were made without proper justification. This move underscores broader tensions in the US-Australia trade relationship and raises questions about the future of bilateral economic ties. Such tariff plans, if enacted, could have significant repercussions on trade dynamics and diplomatic relations.
