US imposes 12.5% tariff on Australian goods in new Trump trade action
The United States announced new tariffs affecting all major trading partners on July 24, 2026, with Australia facing a 12.5% tariff and other countries subject to 10% rates. According to ABC News Australia, this action comes five months after a court struck down many of Trump's previous tariffs. The move directly impacts American importers and consumers purchasing Australian goods, as tariff costs typically pass through supply chains.
