        "summary": "Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has strongly criticised a United States proposal to impose additional tariffs of 10 to 12.5 per cent on imports from over 60 nations, including Australia, citing alleged forced labour in production. Albanese argued the policy violates decades of bilateral understanding, breaches the existing free trade agreement, and will ultimately harm American consumers by raising prices. Trade Minister Don Farrell echoed the protest during a meeting with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer at the OECD gathering in Paris.",
        "content": "<p>Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has protested against the\nUnited States\u2019 plan to impose additional tariffs of 10 to 12.5 per cent\non imported goods from at least 60 countries, including Australia, on\nthe grounds of alleged forced labour in production. \u201cThere is an\nideological difference where the United States government has violated\nan understanding that has been in place for decades \u2014 that tariffs do\nnot have a positive impact on the country that imposes them,\u201d Albanese\nstated in an ABC report on Thursday (4\/6). A previously proposed 10 per\ncent tariff on Australian imported goods was struck down by the US\nSupreme Court last February. Albanese stressed that any tariff imposed\non Australian exports to the US is an act that is \u201cunjustified and\ninconsistent\u201d with the bilateral free trade agreement (FTA) that binds\nthe two allied nations. \u201cSuch tariffs actually increase the cost of\ngoods and services for consumers in the country that imposes them\u2026\nwhereas free trade is in the interest of the global economy,\u201d Albanese\nsaid. \u201cThis policy was issued without prior notice. One of the things we\nexpect in international relations is certainty. Australia and the United\nStates are important allies,\u201d he added. Concluding his statement,\nAlbanese lamented the shifting dynamics of US policy, which continue to\nharm its trading partners. \u201cIt is very regrettable that a rolling series\nof decisions \u2014 some of which change from time to time \u2014 all have a\ncommon thread, which is that the United States is now a proponent of\ntariff policies,\u201d he said. Echoing PM Albanese, Australian Trade\nMinister Don Farrell also described the US tariff plan as \u201cunfair\u201d. The\nprotest was conveyed directly during a meeting with US Trade\nRepresentative Jamieson Greer on the sidelines of the Organisation for\nEconomic Co-operation and Development (OECD) meeting in Paris on\nWednesday evening (3\/6).<\/p>",
