The tariffs on some goods will come into effect May 16 and other later in the year, on December 1, the document said. FRANCE 24's Dave Keating reports from Brussels.

#Greens leader #AdamBandt has urged the government to walk away from the #AUKUS pact with the #UnitedStates, describing the imposition of #steel and #aluminium #tariffs as a "wake-up call" to rethink Australia's relationship with its key ally.

It comes as #Trade Minister #DonFarrell said the challenge going forward is figuring out what US President Donald #Trump wants and to "make an offer he can't refuse".

On a Saturday morning in May, 2020, #Italian police officers caught two men pouring chemical waste into the sewers in the southern port city of #Brindisi, near a small plane components factory

Five years on, that routine #pollution case has spiralled into a wide-ranging judicial investigation into how thousands of flawed #titanium and #aluminium parts manufactured in #Italy ended up in nearly 500 #Boeing787 jets still in use.
