New Zealand's finance minister Willis says NZ has a warm relationship with the US

So far any relationship hasn't counted for much:

• Trump cancelled deals with allies EU, UK, Japan, Australia, others - no exception tariffs

• Key take away - Trump's 25% steel and aluminium tariffs - NO EXEMPTIONS or EXCEPTIONS
• White House says 25% steel tariffs will apply to all countries

March 4 is the date due for the imposition of these tariffs. Let's see if there is any change ahead of that.
