From www.abc.net.au: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced that a tariff exemption for Australian steel and aluminium exports to the United States is “under consideration” following a phone call with US President Donald Trump.

During this conversation, Albanese presented his case for the exemption, and Trump agreed to the wording that the exemption is being considered.

Despite the constructive dialogue, Albanese did not express confidence about securing the exemption, and was not speaking on behalf of the US president.
