Everything Bannon says makes sense, EXCEPT for the US 10% tariff on Australia. Australia does not have any tariff on US goods. There is a Free Trade Agreement in place that is supposed to prevent the US and Australia adding tariffs on each other's goods. That means the 10% tariff on Australian goods should be considered to be a mistake? But it's not.
Australia does tax everything 10% as a default. That's not to do with tariffs. That's to do with local taxes. For example, almost everything I buy except for maybe bread and fruit is taxed a 10% flat tax. So the US should not consider standard taxes to be a tariff. After all, America does the same to its own people with US taxes.
When that mistake was pointed out to the US government, they cited environmental regulations preventing raw American meat being imported into Australia. Australian meat is imported into the US, but American meat must be cooked, or canned. The intent is to prevent contamination of Australia's meat industry with diseases spread by the Globalist profiteers and their world markets. You'd think Trump the anti-Globalist would get that.
So, Australia doesn't have any tariffs on American goods, but America wants to bully Australia into putting a stop to cheaper pharmaceuticals and accepting the risk of Mad Cow Disease and the rest of the international filth. Orders from Big Pharma and Big Beef I guess. The American Military Industrial Complex already has a grip on Australia with US Military Bases dotting the country, and trillion dollar arms deals for the weaponry to fight the Chink.
Trump definitely has his orders. There's no mistake. Either Australia complies with Big Pharma and Big Beef, or a 10% bully tax/tariff will be imposed.
Other than that, I agree with the US tariffs. Force the bastards to remove their own profiteering tariffs on imports from the United States, and prevent them profiting from hard working but poor Americans. Life's hard enough as it is. After all, we certainly don't need profiteering foreigners imposing their greed upon our lives.
