A proclamation signed by US President Donald Trump has accused Australia of breaking a verbal commitment to reduce aluminium exports to the United States.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is facing criticism for his handling of the steel and aluminium tariff threat from the US President.
“Australia has disregarded its verbal commitment to voluntarily restrain its aluminium exports to a reasonable level,” the proclamation read.

Yes Albo should have said they were in talks until the deal was done as most statesmen do.
Close pine gap see how trump likes that.
They will take our AUKUS money and more. Stop the submarine program as submarines are obsolete now, let alone in 20-30 years. Use the money for nuclear power stations.
Trump is just an asshole, he will always change his mind regardless. Trump is still a toddler in big boy pants!
There we go again this weazal of a prime minister has screwed the australian people again only this time its going to cost the australian economy please let the election come soon so peter duton can talk to trump and fix this
And people will still vote for this garbage activist we have as prime minister. Pathetic
You HAVE to be prepared. There’s a BULLY running the US. They’ll be hated more than ever worldwide.
Albanese is a weak leader need a good leader for this country who is there I run this country. Vote Rob Culleton
Trump complained that Australia broke a verbal commitment?
I do not know why Trump even complains. Trump breaks all kinds of commitments verbal AND written.
Nice one Albo….but your lips were moving again. He lied ti the Australian people also
Anti Labor article on SkyNews.
The problem is not Albo, but Trump. Dutton would just bend over.
Albo is a perfect example of Australian politics. Spineless, useless liars.
25% tariffs on American submarines?
Ditch the yanks who needs enemies when you have friends like them
Worst Australian prime minister I’ve been alive to witness
Australia could learn something from trump's tariffs. If we taxed our exports like Norway does, we would have enough money that no one in Australia would even need to pay taxes.
Embarrassing, Spicer should be embarrassed, still sucking up to trump after being discarded like bum wipe paper in a toilet.
Tariffs don’t mean war folks it just means renegotiations between countries and that everyone is putting in equal shares . This may be good for every country just knowing your country is paying in full and others are not doesn’t make it fair . I believe trump is just shaking up the world telling everyone we all gotta put in work equally
Who is Donald Trump to complain that Australia broke its word. He sighed an agreement with Canada and Mexico in his first term, and broke it. The US A cannot be trusted.🇨🇦
That's rich Donnie accusing someone of reneging on a trade deal…
Pm idiot
Trump is a fine one to talk about breaking his word. He is continually breaking his word. He is doing that to the American people and the world every day. He is an egotistical maniac.
All countries and the world have to protect themselves from egotistical Trump.
What's next? Always blaming others as he lies every day….
And now Australia is making him a victim… poor baby!!!❤❤❤❤Australia
I think everyone should just ignore USA as a nation and just trade with everyone else. Nothing a Narcissist hates more than being ignored 😂😂
Good on ya Australia
Trump has moved the goal post 3X on Tariffs, call his bluff, let him do it, we keep jumping thru hoops to please this asshat, and keep stopping him from wrecking the economy……….let him do as he wants and watch his economy crumble at his feet. We ( as in the world ) keep saving him from himself, let him fall for once
Any deal with Trump is meaningless and not worth the paper it's written on, he has a free trade deal with Canada and Mexico that he brokered and signed and still backstabbed both countries
I accidentally clicked on this site before I realised it was Sky News. Silly of me and I should have been paying more attention.
This Aussie will boycott American products when an alternative can be found until trade tariffs are removed. You don't treat friends like that.
Well if you wernt such a pack of w//kers an us Sheep you could sell to China they would buy all you have .but your all brain washed to thing China bad . Lol now you might actually wake up an see how important your really are . .or arntas the case my be
Fuc5 off Yanks. You are a bunch of liars.
You fools supporting Trump by attacking our PM. Should be telling him to tariff USA aeroplanes. They are being subsidised by us. Balance of trade surplus to US deficit Australia. Dickheads!!!!
If they won't buy it I'm sure we will find other takers!
We can't be stupid enough to trust Trump, he is dismantling America and will only agree if he owns us.
Well Australia breaks its promises to the Australian people all the time, so no surprises here.
Stuff trumpy, he doesn't keep his word and his word is already shit anyway. Time for everyone to stand up to america, they aint shit without the world
The orange Liar is calling Australians liars?? Between 2017 and 2023 Washington Fact Checker confirmed over 30,000 falsehoods and misleading statements by Trump and his administration. Hypocrisy is Donny’s middle name.
