Following a successful trip to India, Prime Minister Mark Carney is now on his way to Australia to hold talks with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and address the Australian Parliament. The talks are centered on the issue of "strategic autonomy," where Prime Minister Carney is expected to urge mid-sized nations to work together to preserve their interests in the wake of economic coercion by powerful nations such as the U.S., led by Trump. The talks are centered on defense, artificial intelligence, and critical minerals. The talks are also expected to touch on the latest developments on the U.S.'s latest strikes on Iran and the controversial arrest of a member of the British Royal Family.
