The National Security Podcast

Unpacking the Australia-US relationship with “our man in Washington”


Listen Later

Is America retreating from global leadership? 

Is this just a temporary wave of tension in the bilateral relationship, or might it signal a broader, long-term shift? 

Are the current AUKUS debates in Australia cutting through in the US? 

 

In this episode, John Blaxland joins David Andrews to discuss Australia’s relationship with the US, and why he believes we’re well placed to withstand the instabilities of Trump’s second term in office. 

 

John Blaxland is Director of the North America Liaison Office and Professor of International Security and Intelligence Studies at The Australian National University. 

David Andrews is Senior Manager, Policy & Engagement at the ANU National Security College
