‘Good to Chat’: Albanese Posts Selfie After Brief Encounter with Trump

The meeting follows months of phone talks and precedes scheduled White House discussions on diplomatic relations amid global political tensions, officials said.

  • In early September 2025, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and US President Donald Trump briefly met during the United Nations gathering held in New York.
  • This encounter followed months of speculation and phone calls, with a formal sit-down meeting scheduled for October 20 at the White House in Washington DC.
  • Their interaction was contrasted by differing foreign policy views, notably on the Middle East and global trade, amid Australia's recent recognition of the State of Palestine and calls for ceasefire.
  • Albanese posted a widely viewed selfie showing both leaders smiling, while experts noted contrasting body language and attire symbolizing their divergent stances.
  • The meeting and upcoming talks imply ongoing diplomatic engagement aimed at balancing shared security interests despite significant policy differences between Australia and the US.
