In the lead-up to Australia's federal election, political tensions have escalated, primarily due to Donald Trump's trade war. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's moderating stance contrasts with the significant turmoil for opposition leader Peter Dutton, exacerbated by Dutton's ties to Trump. Albanese's approval is reportedly improving, thanks to both a newfound confidence and international influences, while public trust in the United States wanes significantly. This shift reflects a complex interaction of local missteps and global scenarios influencing voter sentiment as Australians approach the polls.
Australian elections are never boring. This time around, there's some added spice with President Donald Trump and his tariffs.
Trump's tumultuous trade war has left many Australians feeling jilted by their closest military ally.
Conservative opposition leader Peter Dutton has been hurt by his ties to Trump, whose actions have sent Australians' trust in the United States plummeting.
Albanese has been relatively moderate in his response, gently pushing back on Trump's tariffs without drawing his ire or derailing the deepening military relationship.
