Can Albo get a tariff deal with Trump?

As the UK carves out a partial exemption on the Trump administration's tariffs, Opposition leader Sussan Ley is urging the Albanese Government to negotiate the same.  It comes as the Prime Minister has labelled the US administration's 50 per cent tariff on steel and aluminium imports "economic self-harm" -- and continues to stare down  calls for Australia to increase its defence spending to 3.5 per cent.  And in the hotly contested seat of Bradfield, Independent Teal candidate Nicolette Boele has clinched a very narrow win. So, what does this mean for the moderate wing of the Liberal party? Patricia Karvelas and David Speers  break it all down on Politics Now. Got a burning question? Got a burning political query?
