Aluminium exports under fire: Is Australia really to blame?

US President Donald Trump has claimed Australia broke a 2018 verbal agreement on restraining Australian aluminium exports to America. That deal, successfully negotiated by the Turnbull government, had provided Australia with an exemption from Trump’s global steel and aluminium import tariffs during his first term.

There has been debate in Australian media over which prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull or Scott Morrison, verbally agreed to voluntary export constraints. What is clear is that the Trump administration believes they had an agreement with the Turnbull government to restrain exports, since on 31 May 2018 the White House issued the following official statement.
