Albanese to Meet Trump in Washington Next Month, White House Confirms
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will hold a one-on-one meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington in October 2025, the White House says.
The White House confirmed that Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will visit Washington next month for a one-on-one meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. Officials did not disclose a specific date or venue, but said the talks are planned for October 2025.
The administration described the engagement as a step to reinforce the long-standing U.S.–Australia alliance and to discuss bilateral ties and regional security in the Indo-Pacific. No detailed agenda was released.
The relationship between Australia and the United States has long been anchored by the ANZUS treaty and sustained by cooperation in defense, intelligence sharing and economic ties. The White House said the talks would underscore common interests in regional stability and shared approaches to security challenges in the Indo-Pacific.
Observers say the meeting signals ongoing U.S. engagement with Australia amid shifting regional dynamics and global economic pressures. In recent years, Canberra and Washington have pursued closer alignment on defense planning, technology collaboration and trade policy, reflecting a broad bilateral agenda.
Officials noted that additional details would be released closer to the date, and that the October 2025 meeting will mark a high-profile moment in the ongoing partnership between the two countries.
