Todd McClay: Trade Minister on the new round of tariffs proposed by Donald Trump

The Trade Minister believes the US is simply looking for a new reason to reintroduce tariffs.  The Trump administration announced a new 12.5% tariff on dozens of countries, including New Zealand, Australia, and many of our major trading partners.  It's accusing us of not doing enough to prevent the importation of goods produced by forced labour.  Todd McClay told Heather du Plessis-Allan he and his international counterparts are all of the same view.  He says irrespective of what anyone has done, the US is putting the tariff regime back in place and looking for a new legal basis.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
