Why Australian PM got 40 minutes with President Biden

Published

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has met with U.S. President Joe Biden in Phnom Penh for the East Asia and ASEAN summits

During the 40 minute conversation, the two leaders discussed the critical AUKUS alliance between the UK, U.S., and Australia.

Coincidentally, the 40 minute conversation comes just hours before Biden is set to meet with China’s Xi Jinping.

Finding stability in the Indo-Pacific was front and centre during the discussion as both leaders face shared challenges.

The leaders also spoke about climate change and tackling environmental issues.

“Australia’s standing in the region has risen and that is a benefit for those who have respect for Australia’s position…

The United States is one of those.”

Anthony Albanese told reporters

The Australian leader also met with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, but a question mark looms over whether he will met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“I had a brief conversation with Premier Li, it was very positive, it was constructive.

I’ve said repeatedly about the relationship with China that we should co-operate where we we can and that dialogue is always a good thing.”

Relations between the two began to dwindle amid the Covid-19 pandemic, when Australia backed the idea for an independent inquiry into the origins of the virus.

China is one of Australia’s largest trading partners and began to use this against the country down under.

China began to make changes to its trade policies, which was ultimately seen as an attempt to economically punish Australia.

However, new Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is open to dialogue and cooperation.

“I think there is a great deal of goodwill here, certainly from Australia.

I have no reason to think there’s not goodwill on the Chinese side as well.”

Former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson arrested in London linked to Epstein and alleged misconduct, denies any wrongdoing.

London’s Metropolitan Police have arrested Peter Mandelson, Britain’s former ambassador to the United States, as part of an investigation into his alleged connections with Jeffrey Epstein. The arrest has triggered major political shockwaves across Westminster and beyond.

Lord Mandelson was detained on suspicion of misconduct in public office, with investigators examining claims he may have leaked market-sensitive information to Epstein during his time as a government minister. Authorities also executed search warrants at properties in Wiltshire and Camden as the probe widened.

Mandelson, who was dismissed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and resigned from the House of Lords in February while retaining his title, has denied any wrongdoing as legal scrutiny intensifies.

Man in 20s dies after breaching Mar-a-Lago, armed; Secret Service opened fire, citing no immediate danger inside.

A man in his early 20s has been shot and killed after breaching the secure perimeter at President Trump’s Mar a Lago residence in Florida, according to the Secret Service. Officials say the president and first lady Melania Trump were in Washington DC at the time of the incident.

Authorities report the man was armed with a shotgun and a petrol canister when he approached the north gate. He was confronted by a sheriff’s deputy and two Secret Service agents who ordered him to drop the items before the situation rapidly escalated.

After putting down the petrol can, the man allegedly pointed the shotgun at officers, who then opened fire. Law enforcement says there was no immediate danger to anyone inside the property.
