Donald Trump's administration has ruled out tariff exemptions for Australia which means along with the rest of the world, we will be subject to a 25 per cent tariff increase on steel and aluminum exports from this afternoon.

Shadow Minister for Trade and Tourism Kevin Hogan told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "The Quad includes countries like Australia, Japan, India and the US, the AUKUS includes the UK, Australia and the US."

"Every member of those groups have been over to meet Trump."

"They're all developing a personal rapport with him and a relationship with him.
Albanese has not seen him or attempted to see him once."

"He's had, from what I can gather, only one meaningful phone conversation with him in four or five months since he's been president."

"They're an important economic partner, we had this issue of tariffs and now Albanese's missing in action, I think he has been very weak on this issue," Mr. Hogan said.
