Albanese Refuses To Budge On Key Trade Issues Ahead Of US Tariff Announcement
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has made it clear that the country will not back down on several key issues, such as biosecurity regulations and media-related laws, despite upcoming tariffs from the United States.
Albanese toughened his stance after a recent 2025 National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers highlighted that the pricing of generic drugs, Australia's biosecurity regulations, and media-related laws were hurting U.S. trade, ABC News reported.
"Those issues are not up for negotiation," Albanese said.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton also voiced his opposition, saying Australia should not compromise on these issues.
