US politics live: White House Chief-of-Staff sheds light on Trump-Musk implosion
One of the White House’s highest-ranking officials has spilled the beans on the fateful clash that saw America’s biggest bromance crumble.
US President Donald Trump has threatened to introduce 200 per cent tariffs on pharmaceuticals – one of Australia’s biggest exports to the US.
He also unveiled plans for a 50 per cent tariff on copper — a move that is expected to smash big Australian miners like BHP and Rio Tinto.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers said these were “very concerning developments” and the government was “urgently seeking more detail”.
“It’s been a feature of recent months that we’ve had these sorts of announcements out of DC,” he told ABC RN
“Our pharmaceuticals industry is much more exposed to the US market, and that’s why we’re urgently seeking some more detail on what’s been announced.”
