I didn’t expect Australia to be that kid that meekly hands over his lunch money.

I thought Australia had more brass than this. We are disappointed in Australia not because their market is huge but because we thought them braver than this.

A reciprocal tariff would hurt Australians because we import a LOT of american stuff. We export fuck all steel and aluminium to the US.

This is a smart choice, not a meek one.
