The verdict on Trump’s talks with Albanese (and Kevin Rudd)
Anthony Albanese’s meeting with Donald Trump went pretty smoothly, with AUKUS, a minerals deal and the Australia-US relationship all receiving strong backing. But past comments about President Trump from Kevin Rudd, Australia’s ambassador to the United States, ended up being the biggest point of contention and amusement. In the prime minister’s first White House meeting with the president, a multi-billion dollar deal was signed to develop a critical minerals supply from Australia. Today, ABC correspondent Jane Norman tells us what it was like in the White House and why the timing of the meeting couldn't have been better for the prime minister.
