We just threatened them and now the tariffs are paused so we can negotiate. Samsung has a factory in TX. So does Toyota.

Toyota is Japanese you put tariffs on them too.
I hope they don't negotiate - you don't deserve it. Everywhere should let you sink.
If everyone held their nerve you'd be up shit creek.

Yes, because Australia and all those other nations had unfair tariffs on us for years and now they get the punch in the nose.

I think you were tariffing us at 2.5 percent or 5 percent which is why we slapped you with a 10 percenter. I watched somebody prove you wrong about that yesterday.

We didn’t. We had a free trade agreement with the US which exempted you. You have broken this agreement

Yes, you get to export your beef to the states, but won't accept our beef. Now you have beef and realize why you gotta problem. In thumbpicker-speak our tariffs are bigger and better than yours.

I'm talking about beef imports/exports. Your country has unfair trade practices and the hammer has now dropped on Australia. All your Uluru belong to us.
