Trump meeting on backburner with PM to skip summit
The Prime Minister will wait a little more for a second meeting with Donald Trump, while the Prime Minister pushes him to take action on the situation in the Middle East.
Anthony Albanese will not go to Hague for the next week’s NATO summit, Richard Marles will represent Australia as planned at the event.
Mr. Albania was planning to make a last -minute line in talks that could give the US President personally to meet with the US President.
The couple’s first face -to -face meetings were planned to hold the G7 Summit in Canada at the beginning of this week.
However, 24 hours before the meeting, Mr. Trump announced that he would leave the event early to deal with the increasing tensions between Israel and Iran.
The Prime Minister is willing to negotiate exemption from US tariffs, defend the country’s nuclear submarine agreement with the United States and Britain and discuss defense expenditures.
Mr. Trump is expected to attend the NATO summit, but there is no guarantee that he will not be withdrawn in the last second in the mid -east volatility.
The US President said that he would decide that he would not participate in the Israeli-Iranian conflict in the next two weeks ”.
Liberal Senator James Paterson said that he should join NATO, regardless of whether the Prime Minister had met with Mr. Trump before.
Mr. Albanian believes that he will help him to coordinate with allies and support Ukraine in his war against Russia.
In addition, the situation in Iran would offer the opportunity to discuss discussion and defense expenditures with European partners.
Sen If he met with President Trump among them, this would be a bonus, ”Senator Paterson said.
“But frankly, I think it is a very risky strategy to wait seven months now and see the president and not see it in Washington DC, but to rely on a chance meeting between an international forum.”
The Prime Minister was not the only world leader hanging in the G7.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelenskiy also made interviews with Mr. Trump.
Albania, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, US National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, including senior members of the President’s economic team met.
The negotiations included trade, tariffs and critical minerals, which Australia intended to use as a bargain chip in US tariff negotiations.
