New polling suggests only 16 per cent of Australians believe Donald Trump’s second administration has been good for Australia, underscoring the delicate balancing act Anthony Albanese needs to pull off when he meets the US President next week.

USSC Director of Research Jared Mondschein was quoted by ABC on the polling findings, saying that “Australians can see that a close working relationship with the US administration is still in Australia’s national interests.”
