U.S. President Donald Trump has awarded the prestigious Legion of Merit to Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and fellow leaders of the Quad Alliance for “addressing global challenges and promoting collective security.”

On Dec. 21, U.S. national security adviser Robert O’Brien presented the award to Australian Ambassador to the U.S. Arthur Sinodinos, who accepted on Morrison’s behalf.
