Mars' confidence we will be able to establish production relations between Australia and the United States

Mars Asked if Australia would use the upcoming Aukus payments as part of its leverage on potential tariffs. He said Australia will “follow the path we have been pursuing Aukus’ arrangements”:

We want to keep the dynamic of the way we interact with the Trump administration… Now, we have just had a second conversation between President Trump and the Albany Prime Minister. And, we do take root in the way we interact with the Trump administration.

Opposition leaders pointed out that tariffs on Australia would “damage relations with the United States”, and Mars replied: “Let’s work to pursue the exemptions we are seeking”.

Let's take the fact that the President agrees to actively consider exemptions related to Australia, which he acknowledged in his statement today is a transactional relationship and that the United States has a surplus…I am confident that we can pursue under the Trump administration production relations between Australia and the United States.

Australia should be the prime minister and the US president "at face value" Donald TrumpRegarding potential tariff relief, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Richard Marssaid after his trip to Washington.

Marles speaks on ABC 7.30 on Tuesday night Anthony Albanese and Donald Trump Today, “clear” and “clear” Australia’s exemption from tariff collection by the U.S. government is actively considering after their conversation today.

It wasn't easy to say...that was the agreement they reached during the conversation this morning, and after talking to the Prime Minister himself, he said it was very positive and very constructive. Obviously, we will now work to file our cases to apply for these waivers.

Mars noted that Australia's allegations ignored their commitment to limiting aluminum exports, saying he could not speak for the former government, which was "an explanation".

We do about $10 billion in transactions each year. It's about one-on-one, in favor of the United States. In this sense, it is very in the interests of the United States to trade in a priceless way.
