WATCH LIVE: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese speaks to Sky News First Edition as meeting with Trump remains in limbo
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is speaking to Sky News First Edition amid concerns about his ability to secure a meeting with US President Donald Trump.
Mr Albanese has been urged to meet with the US President and develop a personal relationship in order to negotiate tariffs, and the AUKUS pact.
President Trump's former pollster Brent Buchanan told Sky News on Monday that US Ambassador Kevin Rudd had hindered efforts to schedule the meeting.
'I think he (Trump) doesn't like the current ambassador, and that's one of the biggest issues,' Mr Buchanan told Sky News.
Mr Albanese personally appointed Mr Rudd after the former prime minister called President Trump a "political liability".

Aust has important role as US ally, trading partner: PM
POINTS OF CONTENTION IN US-AUSTRALIA RELATIONSHIP Australia is attempting to negotiate an exemption from US tariffs, which include a 50 per cent levy on Australian steel and aluminium and a 10 per cent tariff on most other goods. But certain sticking points could threaten Australia's success. DEFENCE SPENDING * The US has urged Australia to lift its defence spending to 3.5 per cent of gross domestic product, which would cost the government tens of billions of dollars * American officials also placed more pressure on Australia after North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) allies agreed to increase their military budgets to five per cent of gross domestic product * But Australia previously agreed to grow its defence spend from two per cent of GDP to 2.3 per cent by 2033/34 and the prime minister has stood firm and supported current spending levels AUKUS * The Pentagon in June launched a 30-day review into the nuclear submarine partnership between Australia, the US and the UK to examine whether it aligned with US President Donald Trump's "America First" agenda * Australian politicians have played down the review and noted the UK conducted a similar investigation before backing the agreement BEEF IMPORTS AND BIOSECURITY * Though Australia accepts imports of beef raised and slaughtered in the US, Mr Trump's administration is demanding the government also take in beef that has been raised in Canada or Mexico before being slaughtered and processed in the US * Australia has barred the latter from import due to biosecurity concerns * Mexico's livestock tracking system could inadvertently lead producers to import beef from parts of the continent where disease outbreaks are a concern MEDIA BARGAINING CODE * Australia's media bargaining code ensures tech companies pay news outlets for their content * However, the US has already pointed to the code as an issue in its foreign trade barriers report * Canada capitulated to US demands by scrapping a digital services tax that would have targeted US tech firms, highlighting Mr Trump's desire to protect the industry * Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said he will not undermine the code in negotiations with the US PHARMACEUTICAL BENEFITS SCHEME * Australia's subsidised prescription medication scheme could be in America's sights as the US pharmaceutical lobby claimed it undervalued innovation because it keeps prices low for Australians * The president announced he would put up a "tariff wall" on countries that export pharmaceuticals to the US, though some Australian pharmaceutical companies have managed to find a way around US levies * Mr Albanese has vowed to protect the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and his government has ruled out the "Americanisation" of Australia's health system

Albo hits back at ‘absurd' defence claim
Anthony Albanese has rejected a report detail revealing his deputy, Defence Minister Richard Marles, did not get warship readiness briefings for years. An audit published on Friday found the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) has failed to properly maintain Australia's biggest battleships – the HMAS Canberra and HMAS Adelaide. It also revealed Mr Marles did not get 'preparedness reports' from Australian Defence Force (ADF) officials 'in 2023 and 2024 due to development of the 2023 Defence Strategic Review'. Instead, Mr Marles was briefed 'through 'other means', including during conversations'. The Prime Minister flatly rejected the finding when asked about it on Tuesday.

Credit: News Corp Australia, Martin Ollman / NewsWire 'Well, that's just absurd, that's just absurd,' Mr Albanese told Nine's Today. Pressed further, he said Mr Marles was 'of course' briefed. 'That's just ridiculous, frankly,' Mr Albanese said. 'I haven't seen that report, but we sit in the National Security Committee with the Chief of the Defence Force. 'We meet regularly. I certainly have met with heads of all of the armed forces regularly, and that is just completely incorrect.' He said the extra $57bn Labor had pumped into expanding capability 'has come directly after discussions and engagement, obviously with Defence'. 'And in the last budget in March, indeed, we brought forward a billion dollars of additional spending, bringing to over $10bn our additional commitments over the forward estimates as well,' Mr Albanese said. Preparedness reports detail what can be deployed in the event of a war or natural disaster – key information against a backdrop of looming conflict in the Indo-Pacific and increasingly common extreme weather events. Labor's handling of defence has come under a microscope since the US last month demanded Australia hike the ADF's budget to 3.5 per cent of GDP. Mr Albanese has resisted, saying Australia's national security was a matter for Canberra, not Washington. He has also said his government would first determine need and then allocate funds rather than set a flat GDP target. But the government's position has put Australia at odds with its allies across the world, with all NATO members bar Spain agreeing to lift defence spending to 5 per cent of GDP last week. Closer to home, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea have all recently committed to spending more amid warnings from the Trump administration the region faces graver threats than Europe. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took a thinly veiled shot at Australia last week, saying if European countries can agree to hike defence spending, then US allies in the Indo Pacific 'can do it as well'. 'I mean, look, if our allies in Europe and our NATO allies can do it, I think our allies and our friends in the Asia-Pacific region can do it as well,' she said, responding to an Australian journalist. 'But as for our specific relations and discussions, I will let the President speak on those.' Though whether the Trump administration would actually seek to mirror a NATO target for allies in the Indo Pacific remains unclear.

Pete Hegseth was ‘absolutely seething' at leaked ‘low confidence report' on Iran strikes
Sky News host Caleb Bond claims US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth was 'absolutely seething' at the leaked report on the effectiveness of America's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Mr Hegseth has furiously defended the effectiveness of strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities. The Defence Secretary repeatedly attacked the 'fake news' media for reporting on a leaked preliminary intelligence assessment which said US strikes had only set Iran's nuclear program back 'a few months, tops'.
