The Leader of the Nationals David Littleproud says he stands ready to work with the Federal Government to try and influence the United States to back down on imposing a 15% global tariff. The Trump Administration has signalled it wants to bring the new global tariffs as early as Wednesday, after the US Supreme Court ruled the President's original tariffs were illegally implemented.

The Trump administration says it plans to impose a 15% global tariff later this week after the U-S Supreme Court struck down much of the president's Liberation Day tariffs.
In a split 6-3 decision, the Court ruled Donald Trump lacked the power as President to unilaterally set tariffs on imports, and had therefore illegally imposed them under a law meant for national emergencies.
The US President has now vowed to use other measures to continue his tariff program.
Australian businesses are believed to have paid more than one-point-four billion dollars on goods shipped to the US since April 2025 ... now there are calls for the tariffs to be refunded.

The UK government is considering introducing legislation to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the line of royal succession, as the scandal - over the former prince's links with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein - deepens.
Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office last week. He was later released and a police investigation continues.
Police have previously cited reports that Mountbatten-Windsor allegedly sent trade information to Epstein in 2010, when the former prince was Britain’s special envoy for international trade. 
The former Duke of York has consistently denied any wrongdoing
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor ceased being a working member of the Royal Family in 2019 and was stripped of his royal titles in October last year. However, he remains eighth in line to the throne.
