MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull thanked US President Donald Trump on Friday for exempting Canberra from tariffs in the steel and aluminum industry.
„Great discussion today on security and trade. Australia/US trade is fair & reciprocal & each of our nations has no closer ally. Thank you for confirming new tariffs won’t have to be imposed on Australian steel & aluminum — good for jobs in Australia and in US!,“ Turnbull said on Twitter.
