💨 Abstract

Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong expressed confidence in Ambassador to the US, Kevin Rudd, to form a strong relationship with the Trump administration. She is pleased with Senator Rubio's positive comments about AUKUS, a military technology partnership between Australia, the UK, and the US. Wong also indicated that they are on a pathway to increasing defense spending, which includes expenditure under AUKUS. She believes that increased capability is essential for deterrence and peace.
