Reported at www.abc.net.au: Resources Minister Madeleine King has informed the U.S. that Australia has alternative buyers for its critical minerals amid rising tensions over potential U.S. tariffs.

She noted that Australia is prepared to work with other nations such as Japan, South Korea, and the European Union if necessary.

The Albanese government aims to highlight Australia’s strategic role in critical mineral supply and its stable trading environment as it negotiates with the U.S. administration.
