Labour's leader says the US tariffs on New Zealand aren't justified in a retaliatory sense.
A US chart states New Zealand imposes 20% tariffs on US imports, and Chris Hipkins is wondering if this includes GST, which isn't a tariff.
He told Kerre Woodham New Zealand's one of the world's lowest no-tariff countries.
Hipkins also says New Zealand won鈥檛 just be impacted by the tariffs directly imposed on us, but we could be hit harder by indirect knock-on effects from the higher amounts Trump is imposing on other countries.
The Labour leader says the party鈥檚 learned from its last stint in Government.
Hipkins says the Labour Government tried to do too many things at once, preventing them from doing many things well enough.
He says watching the current Government has made him reflect on another lesson.
Hipkins told Woodham the Government had also spent too much consulting and asking people what they thought, and sometimes people just want them to get on with it.
