‘They are calling’: Trump confirms Albanese has been trying to speak to him

  • On April 29, 2025, US President Donald Trump acknowledged that the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has reached out to discuss trade matters, although Trump has not yet returned the call.
  • The efforts followed the US imposing 10 per cent tariffs on Australian exports on April 2 as part of broader trade measures against hundreds of countries.
  • Albanese condemned the tariffs as unfriendly and said imposing them was not the act of a friend or ally, while Trump said he would talk to Albanese but has not yet returned the call.
  • Trump confirmed that Australia has been reaching out and affirmed he plans to engage with the Australian leader, though he did not clarify whether their discussion would take place before Saturday's federal election.
  • The situation suggests ongoing trade tensions between the US and Australia that could impact diplomatic relations amid Australia’s election campaign and domestic political pressures.
