How much chaos does Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie think Trump’s tariffs could wreck on the world’s economy?

I think it’s not just Donald Trump, it’s – a potential trade war between China and the US would wreak havoc on the global economy.(Which Trump sparked when he put tariffs on products coming from China) We saw Australians’ superannuation and savings smashed over the last seven days and that volatility, I think in the global market itself as a result of these decisions, is an offshore threat to our economic future and I guess we have also got those onshore threats to our economic future in the form of the Labor Party and after Adam Bandt’s efforts at the National Press Club yesterday potentially being in the minority Government with the Greens and outlining $250 billion more of taxes on Australians which is a recipe for disaster for economic stability.

The Greens are not talking about being in a coalition with Labor – the party is talking about holding the balance of power when it comes to bill negotiations (which is a position it already holds at times in the senate) so let’s calm down Bridget.
