Trade Minister Don Farrell said on Monday that Australia, a key US security ally in the Indo-Pacific, was making the case for “free and fair trade, including access into the US market for Australian steel and aluminium” in meetings with the Trump administration.
“Australian steel and aluminium is creating thousands of good-paying American jobs, and are key for our shared defence interests,” he said in a statement.
Farrell is yet to meet with his US counterpart, who has not been confirmed in the role, but Australian officials have been making representations on aluminium and steel exports for several months, seeking to secure a similar exemption from tariffs it won during the previous Trump presidency in 2018.
