Isn't this tariff noise really about Trump trying to display strength/power to the media?
Trump tariff makes Chinese steel more expensive. US is the largest consumer/importer of steel. Fits MAGA narrative + given that NK economy dependent on coal exports to China. Suddenly Trump having 'positive' discussions with NK?
You may say Turnbull stared down Trump, but look at how much the AU economy relies on mining exports to bolster its GDP.
