Anthony Albanese appears to be edging closer to landing the long-sought meeting with President Donald Trump when the prime minister is in the United States in September.
Despite Albanese’s reluctance to admit it, Deputy Prime Minster’s Richard Marles’ high level talks in Washington this week are seen as part of the prelude to a meeting.
Meanwhile, in Canberra, Albanese spent 45 minutes this week with Jason Smith, Chair of the United States Congress’s Ways and Means Committee.
