Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh look, I have an association through my family. I've

Trump's tariffs present.

Eighty percent of global trade doesn't involve the United States,

Meanwhile, Dutton says he's negotiated with Trump during his first presidency.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
The Prime Minister of the day should have the building

us harm, to keep our country safe.
