	Description:		The government had promised to push back on the 15% tariff on New Zealand exports to the United States. The White House revised a swathe of rates today, lifting New Zealand's tariff from 10 to 15%. Trade Minister Todd McClay said the jump is a real concern for exporters who can only absorb or pass on so much of the additional costs. Both he and Finance Minister Nicola Willis took questions this afternoon. Political reporter Anneke Smith was there and spoke to Lisa Owen.
