In Washington for the NATO summit, Richard Marles has thrown his support behind the US president, praising the global alliances forged under his administration.
: Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles will meet Trump Republicans to shore up ongoing support for the AUKUS submarine deal as the world braces for another potential shake-up of American leadership at this year’s US election.
“We are seeing strong leadership by America … and that is absolutely critical in terms of the challenges that the world faces today.” Biden also secured the support – at least for now – of the powerful Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, as well as progressive firebrands Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, better known as AOC.
Asked by this masthead if he was concerned about the future of AUKUS, should there be a change of administration, Marles pointed to the bipartisan support that the initiative had received so far, including the legislation passed by Democrats and Republicans to implement it. Marles is in Washington in the absence of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who has been criticised for not attending the NATO summit, which is set against the backdrop of political turmoil in the US and European politics, Russia’s war on Ukraine, China’s rise and heightened tensions in the Middle East.
“Ukraine being able to resolve this conflict on its terms is in Australia’s national interest,” Marles said.
