I do like a good bit of understatement.

"There is one thing that is clear about these tariffs. Their imposition will be in violation of both the WTO rules and the free-trade agreement. ... However, the rule of law and existing norms of the international order do not appear to be persuasive to the Trump administration."

I think Australia would be better off stepping back from the US and looking for alternatives for both trade directions.
