Across the Pacific in America, how are ever-increasing diesel prices going to affect voters in the looming midterm elections? Plus, the new US Ambassador to Australia David Brat will tomorrow offer his credentials in Canberra.
USSC Director of Economic Security Hayley Channer spoke with ABC News about the increasing global diesel prices and their implications for the United States and the upcoming US midterms. Ms Channer also spoke on the effects of the Trump administration’s tariffs on US manufacturing and exports, saying that “there are other impacts on the US economy unrelated to tariffs, but just generally to global confidence in the United States as a trade partner.”
