‘200 per cent': Fresh tariffs blow to Aus
Donald Trump says he might slap tariffs of 200 per cent on pharmaceuticals and 50 per cent on copper - two of Australia's key exports. Australia is among the top copper producers in the world, but the bulk of exports go to southeast Asia. Last year Australia exported just $55m in copper to the US. Pharmaceuticals is another matter, with Australia's exports to the US totalling north of $2bn in 2024. The US President announced the new levies at a cabinet meeting overnight. 'I believe the tariff on copper - we're going to make it 50 per cent,' Mr Trump told reporters, with officials later adding it would come into effect by August. The timeline for the new rate on pharmaceuticals could be later, Mr Trump said. 'We're going to give (drugmakers) about a year, a year and a half to come in, and after that, they're going to be tariffed,' he said. 'They're going to be tariffed at a very, very high rate, like 200 per cent. 'We'll give them a certain period of time to get their act together.' More to come.

In Cabinet meeting, Trump takes a golden opportunity to talk interior decor
After talking about tragedy in Texas, about war in Ukraine and Gaza, about bombs on Iran and about global tariffs, President Donald Trump revealed perhaps his biggest passion: The aesthetic changes he has made to the White House. He is, in many ways, the world's most powerful interior designer. He has redecorated the Oval Office and launched a renovation of the Rose Garden. He has talked of adding a ballroom to the White House. And on Tuesday afternoon, his mind was on the Cabinet Room and all the work he has done to make it better.

Trump Vows No Tariff Extension, Hardens Stance on Copper
Good morning. Trump isn't budging on his tariff timeline. Samsung's Unpacked event in New York loses some sizzle amid leaks. And a Chinese kindergarten provided food that left over 200 students with 'abnormal' levels of lead in their bodies. Listen to the day's top stories. Donald Trump isn't backing down. When it comes to tariffs on countries, the president is holding his ground on the Aug. 1 deadline as nations scramble to reach trade deals. He also ramped up his sectoral attacks, slapping a 50% levy on imports of copper, sending futures prices soaring. Industries including semiconductors also face charges, though drugmakers may get at least a year before a 200% fee on foreign-made products is implemented.
