Albanese will meet U.S. President Donald Trump for the first time on Tuesday in Calgary on the sidelines of the G7 meeting, with tariffs and Washington's snap review of the AUKUS treaty to transfer nuclear submarines to Australia weighing on the talks.
“That is in the interests of the United States,“ he added.
Australia was a trusted U.S. partner in the Pacific region to promote peace and security, he said.
Around 10% of Australia's steel and aluminium is exported to the United States, and Albanese said he would also raise the issue of Trump’s tariffs on the sector, which Australia views as “acts of economic self harm”.
Albanese met with Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday, and said they had discussed Canada's interest in joining AUKUS's so-called Pillar Two to develop advanced defence technology.
“In an uncertain world what people are looking for is certainty, relationships, trusted relationships, Australia and Canada are just such partners,“ he said.
An annual poll by the Lowy Institute think-tank released on Monday showed falling public sentiment in Australia towards the United States, with 36 per cent of people surveyed saying they trust the United States to act responsibly, a 20-point drop since last year. The poll showed two-thirds of respondents supported AUKUS.
