Australia will look for new partners before the Umb The

Sydney Australia will seek to increase its free trade agreements with other countries to reduce its dependency from the United States, announced yesterday the Minister of Commerce, Don Farrell, who criticized the unjustified Donald Trump tariffs.

Australia, a nearby ally from Washington, faces 10 percent tariffs on its exports to the United States, which reach 50 percent in the case of steel and aluminum.

I hope that countries that believe in free trade can make an agreement to extend the exchange in the world, so that, regardless of what the Americans decide to do, we have greater diversity of commercial partnersFarrell declared Sky News.

The trade between Australia and the United States reaches about 65 billion dollars annually, with an American surplus, according to Farrell.

He indicated that last week he reproached for his American counterpart, Jamieson Greer, for the application of tariffs.

The position I raised to Jamieson Greer is that the tariffs that the United States imposed on Australia are unjustifiedsaid Farrell.
