Australian PM Albanese avoids meeting Trump at G20, highlighting tensions over trade and policy.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will not meet with former US President Donald Trump at the G20 Leaders' Summit, highlighting a rift between the two countries. Albanese prioritizes "free and fair trade" but faces potential tariffs on Australian goods proposed by Trump. The PM's decision not to meet Trump has been criticized as a "bad move." Additionally, Australia's support for a UN resolution on Palestinian sovereignty further strains relations with the US. Economic experts predict the summit will be less productive due to uncertainties created by Trump's policies and the current US President being seen as a "lame duck."
