The U.S. has been doused with cold water! After Albanese's victory in the election, Australia says no to the U.S. tariff.

America has been poured a bucket of cold water! Just after Albanese's victory, America did not see Australia backing down, but instead heard the news of Australia's active intention to strengthen cooperation! On May 6th, according to reports by Russia's Sputnik News Agency, after Albanese's victory, Australian Foreign Minister Wong Yingwen stated that Washington's "hardline stance" on tariff policies should not be extended to Australia. We believe that the tariffs imposed by the United States on Australian goods are unfair and unreasonable, and we insist that these tariffs be canceled.

Moreover, Wong Yingwen stated that we also need to expand trade with China to diversify export markets. Clearly, as America's close ally, at the beginning of the new term of the Albanese government, this is a firm no to the United States. The message from Australia is clear: the United States cannot impose additional taxes on Australia, and therefore the United States must cancel them.

Furthermore, this makes it clear to the United States that Australia will not cooperate in economic and trade matters to isolate China. Undoubtedly, Australia's statement has poured a bucket of cold water on the United States. In fact, the current Australian government has enough底气to say no to the United States. For example, in this Australian general election, David Littleproud, Albanese's opponent, claimed that Trump was a "dealmaker" and a "great thinker," and expressed willingness to be "Australia's Trump."

The result? The result is that Australian voters simply do not buy it. Not only did Littleproud lose the federal election, but he also lost the parliamentary seat he had held for 24 years. Now, Australia faces issues such as rising prices, and Trump's tariff policies are exacerbating this situation. Undoubtedly, the Albanese government clearly understands that handling relations with China pragmatically serves Australia's interests, and Australia will not follow the United States blindly.
