Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese intends to discuss new U.S. import tariffs with President Trump, which were imposed on Australia and 37 other nations. Washington alleges these tariffs are necessary to combat the trade of goods produced with forced labor, a claim Australia disputes. The Albanese government considers the tariffs unwarranted and is seeking their removal, emphasizing Australia's existing robust regulations against modern slavery and its efforts to enhance supply chain oversight with significant penalties for violations.
