On April 2nd, when US President Donald Trump announced his sweeping economic policy, essentially isolating the United States from the rest of the world, he singled out one specific industry as the reason behind what he called, "reciprocal tariffs" for Australian trade.

Despite the endless criticism towards the policy, and how his alleged desired affects of bringing production back to America is likely not going to be achieved through it, there's still a lot more that doesn't make sense.

Why does he consider the tariff reciprocal in the first place? Join Patrick Lyne and Alexander Scott as they unpack the proverbial minced meat that this policy is, and how exactly Australians and US consumers are going to deal with it.
