Australian prime minister heads to New York, may meet Trump for first time

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese may meet former US President Donald Trump during his New York visit, with 52% of Australians supporting the meeting, a poll found.

  • Earlier this week, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is heading to New York and may meet U.S. President Donald Trump during the visit, though Albanese has not confirmed the schedule.
  • After a cancelled June G7 sideline meeting, Australian officials view the New York trip as a chance to seek U.S. backing for the AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine pact amid Elbridge Colby's Pentagon review.
  • The latest Resolve Political Monitor found 52 per cent of Australians believe it is important for Albanese to meet Trump, who signalled, `'Your leader is coming over to see me very soon.'`
  • The window narrowed when U.S. President Donald Trump committed to attend Charlie Kirk's funeral on Sunday, US time, and clashed with an ABC journalist, increasing tensions.
  • Michael Fullilove noted the leaders have never met in person, and Donald Trump was elected ten months ago; Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Trump spoke four times earlier this month, raising expectations for a New York meeting.
