Why Trump is accusing Australia of modern slavery

from The Daily Aus · host The Daily Aus

Last week, the U.S. hit Australia with yet another round of tariffs, with President Donald Trump saying it's because we haven't done enough to stop modern slavery. The Australian Government says that's completely wrong. Today we're breaking down what modern slavery actually is, and why it's become the latest point of tension with one of our biggest trading partners.
