Albanese used a phone call with Trump to push for Australia to be excluded from looming 25 percent levies on steel and aluminium.

Albanese also emphasised that the United States had a trade surplus with Australia, exporting twice as much as it imported.
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said last week Trump was “supportive” of the pact between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
