Jane Norman, ABC's national affairs correspondent, provides insight into the recent meeting between Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and U.S. President Donald Trump. The conversation highlights the smooth discussions around the multi-billion dollar minerals deal, which bolsters the Australia-U.S. relationship. However, Kevin Rudd’s past remarks on Trump added some humorous tension. Norman also discusses the strategic timing of the meeting amid China's export controls and Trump's open support for AUKUS and critical minerals—a key factor for Australia's economic future.
