You are falling for the left's propaganda. The fact is that Trump is working to equalize the tariffs. If Australia charges the US 25% tariffs, Trump is going to charge Australia 25%. If Australia is such a good friend of the USA it wouldn't be charging us unfair tariffs, but they do.
From an American's point of view, we are tired of running $36trillion dollar deficits being the world's policeman. We are tired of every country charging us lots of tariffs, but the US barely charging anyone else a tariff. The USA is broke. We can't afford to feed and house our own people. Why should we subsidize anyone else in the world?

From a fed up Australian …..
I see no mention of actual numbers, though. Do you charge a VAT equivalent on exports ?
