Balancing act for Australian PM Albanese as he meets Trump, with China watching closely
Bogdan Hofbauer
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will travel to Washington for his first formal face-to-face meeting with United States President Donald Trump on Monday (Oct 20). The two leaders are expected to discuss defence spending and the US$240 billion deal for nuclear-powered submarines under AUKUS, which has drawn strong opposition from China. The AUKUS trilateral pact between Australia, Britain and the US facilitates cooperation on security issues in the Indo-Pacific. Roger Maynard reports
