US President Donald Trump has praised his “very good relationship” with Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who defeated an opponent seen by voters as too similar to the American leader in an election on Saturday.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Monday he had a "warm conversation" with U.S. President Donald Trump on tariffs and the AUKUS defence pact after his centre-left Labor party decisively beat the conservatives in a weekend election.

Donald Trump says he has a "good relationship" with Anthony Albanese when asked about Australia's election results in Washington.
