Perhaps I'll go back to this point. It is clear that President Trump envisages a different role for the US in the world, and that includes in relation to trade, and that change is much greater than the first time he was President of the United States.

It is disappointing that the coalition have no interest in working together. It's the same negativity from the sidelines about Australia's engagement with the Trump administration. (Time expired)
