Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell has assessed the major talking points raised by John Kirby during a recent press briefing, including Prime Minister Albanese's approach to China and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The retired US Navy rear admiral serves as the National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House.
He detailed the kind of approach he wanted Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to take in China during his impending visit.“President Biden believes it is important we keep lines of communication open with China,” Mr Kirby told reporters during a press briefing. “I can’t speak for Australia, would never do that, but in the United States we view China as a strategic competitor, it is a competition we mean to succeed in.”
Mr Clennell noted that the Prime Minister’s meeting with President Xi Jinping will “absolutely” be a topic of conversation between Mr Albanese and President Biden.
