U.S. President Donald Trump has talked up his positive relationship with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese following the Australian federal election on May 3.

Australia’s centre-left Labor party is currently tracking to win 85 seats following a convincing win against the centre-right Liberal-National Coalition. This means Labor has claimed more than the 76 seats required for a majority government, defying earlier expectations that it would end up in a minority government with the Greens.
