Explore how recent U.S. tariffs may impact Australian exports and why now is the time to rally behind Aussie-made products, tools, and services.
Supporting Australian Businesses Amid New U.S. Tariffs
Recent U.S. tariffs on Australian imports have raised concerns for many local exporters — from agriculture to tech. As global trade shifts, it’s never been more important to support Aussie-owned businesses and reinforce our local economy.
🇺🇸 What’s Going On?
The U.S. has imposed a 10% tariff on several Australian goods, potentially affecting billions in trade. This includes key industries like beef, mining, and manufacturing.
According to ABC News (opens in new tab), these tariffs could pressure Australian businesses to pivot inward — toward local markets and consumers.
