Australian Mateship: Facing Trump and China’s Rise

Australia is a steadfast ally of the United States, but its relationship with the U.S. is not without limits. In this first episode of Pacific Polarity, Richard and Jersey discuss the state of play in U.S.-Australia relations. They cover historic convergence and divergence between the two states, the role of China in defining their relations, and the ways in which the Australian Labor government might approach President Trump’s second term. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit pacificpolarity.substack.com
