We’ll have more from the PM’s early press conference very soon, but of course he was asked about the Trump tariffs and said:

The Australian Government is clearly continuing to make its case to the US Government as March 12 US Government as March 12 approaches.

That case being ‘don’t put tariffs on us, we import so much more from you than you import from us and also, we just gave you $800m for the Aukus deal to help build your shipyards and who knows if we will even get those submarines because you’re so far behind in your own building program, so why are you doing this to us?’

Why indeed.
