Trump Avoiding Australia?

[bambu.]

No visit to Australia planned.
No meeting with Australian Prime Minister planned.
Demand that Australia increases spending on defence to the same as EU countries, 5% (by 2035)...without a meeting and discussion.
It seems very pointed.

Not to mention the 50% tariff.

Has President Trump looked around America lately at what effects his policies are having on his nation?
Alleged:
. Job losses
. Falling overseas tourist numbers.
. Businesses closing.
. Cities and towns already suffering financially.
. Major manufacturing companies slowly moving to Canada...cheap hydro energy contracts until 2040...govt incentives, workplace peace etc.

He knows far more than any of us do.

He knows a great deal about many nations, their leaders and their agencies. It's why I worry about the Five Eyes network remaining relevant. America has taken the protection of civil liberties and transparency seriously, others have not.

Well, Australia ain't that big on him anyway. He thinks he just bully people to get his way. He is nothing more than King Shit of Turd Mountain.

i just heard about this episode of 60 minutes / australia.

i'm willing to bet that is one reason for sure. they won't show it here, because CBS is in a lawsuit with donny.

First, the OP is much ado about nothing. Marles was not at the conference and Australia is not a NATO member. The OP is a non issue. Australia was not a part of the discussion.

bluzman61: Disagreeing with the truth never changes the truth. 47 is thug and a bully. He is 5-Deferment Draft Dodging, ***** Grabbing Coward.

He is 5-Deferment Draft Dodging,

Hey hypocrite--you seem to be ignoring the vegetable's asthma deferments and Clinton's numerous deferments. Keep pointing that finger and just remember that three others are pointing right back at YOU.

He seems to think he can just annex Canada and make one big country north of Mexico because he feels like it.
He seems to have ditched the Five Eyes, ANZUS and AUKUS, as his love and respect for Canada, Australia and New Zealand seems about one notch above zero. He said nice things about UK PM Starmer. [How come he's given UK a special deal on tariffs?]
Maybe now it's "UKUS Eyes" only, who knows.
He seems to know nothing about Australia other than what that trade adviser of his has told him...and a few stats on a piece of paper.
Australia ripping off America on trade?
He's kidding if that's what he thinks...US has a $28billion trade surplus with Australia.
What does he want, all Australia's trade?

NATO leaders called him "Daddy".

Marles is in the NATO photo...top row, at the end, light years away from Trump. [on purpose?]

Donald needs to realise that there are other people in Australia [besides the Leftists in power who have said terrible, disrespectful, hateful things about him.]
The majority did not vote for them.

ANZUS, AUKUS, Five Eyes, 100 years of fighting wars together...should count for something.

YOU need to stop this as left vs. right. YOU need to see people as human beings. The Sky-Man you worship taught YOU to love, an inclusive love, which YOU refuse to practice. YOU practice hate, NOT love. We are all human being and YOU refuse to accept that. Drop the whole left vs. right and practice what your holy book taches YOU about LOVE!

China is expanding its presence in the Western Pacific and the planet. If we are sending more Naval vessels to patrol Australia and New Zealand and other miliary help it is costing us.

If Americans/Washington want to let China have Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands and all the riches, then they should just come right out and say so.
That way everyone would know where they stand.

Impossible to recruit for the Australian military if no one knows for certain what's going on.
Australia is not allowed, by Washington, which basically rules the world, to have nuclear weapons.
Iran tried that.
Would be nice to know what Donald thinks Australia is going to fight China with....spend all the defence money on.

Sorry old son but we voted for the Demclones. Now we wear it.

There are millions who did not.
Anyway, the Australian govt should stop chasing Trump, they're starting to look like 'desperate beggars'.
Just let Trump do what he likes, he will anyway.

Anthony Albanese decided not to attend the NATO summit in The Hague, which may have included a meeting with Donald Trump. He sent his deputy, who was duly ignored by Trump. Obviously, NATO is not a priority for Australia and other Pacific nations, for which the war in Ukraine is not a big concern.

Albanese to skip NATO summit as push for Trump meeting and AUKUS talks intensify

Prime Minister Albanese will miss the upcoming NATO summit in The Hague to reschedule a meeting with US President Trump, a meeting that previously failed to materialize at the G7 summit. Despite concerns about Australia being sidelined on critical global issues like Ukraine and Iran, Deputy...

At a NATO summit anyway. Last I looked Australia is nowhere near the North Atlantic.

'shared', 'linked', 'global', 'partners'

NATO and Australia are strengthening relations to address shared security challenges such as cyber defence, hybrid threats and resilience, and to contribute to upholding the rules-based international order. They also cooperate as part of NATO’s broader relations with its partners in the Indo-Pacific region as, in today’s global security environment, security in the Euro-Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific is increasingly linked. Australia has made valuable contributions to NATO-led operations and missions for decades.
