Latika Takes interviews Anthony Albanese

The Australian Prime Minister discusses Trump, the US Alliance, Australia's defence spending, and his ambitions to be a long term leader.

In this special edition of Latika Takes: The Podcast, recorded in collaboration with The Nightly, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese discusses Australian foreign policy in light of the Trump Administration.

Speaking on a flight between Cairns and Darwin between campaign stops, Mr Albanese, who is fighting for re-election on May 3, says he trusts the US President, believes only the markets had sway over the Administration when it came to reversing tariffs and defends his record on defence spending.

He shares his hopes for stabilising Australian politics for the good of the country and its international reputation if he is re-elected, as he hopes to close the door on a decade of turbulent leadership wars that dogged both sides of Australian politics.
