Winston Peters: Foreign Affairs Minister on what Donald Trump's trade agenda means for New Zealand - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters says we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves worrying about Donald Trump's trade agenda. 

Trump has soared to victory in the US, nailing a historic second presidential term. 

He campaigned on introducing up to 20 percent tariffs on global imports - and 60 percent on Chinese imports.

Peters says we have a strong case to make ourselves an exception, due to the fairness of our market. 

"We pay first-world wages in first-world conditions, we're not an exploitative country that you could bring those sorts of tariffs against without having evidence."
