U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the leader of Australia, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, would be coming for a visit to see him soon.
Speaking to reporters as he departed the White House for a state visit to Britain, Trump did not give a date for the visit by Albanese, who is due in the United States next week to attend the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
Albanese, reelected as leader of a center-left Labor government in a May national election, has yet to meet Trump, after a meeting scheduled on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada in June was canceled when the president left early.
The allies have much to discuss, including the multi-billion dollar AUKUS project, also involving Britain, to provide Australia with nuclear-powered attack submarines to counter China's ambitions in the Indo-Pacific, which is currently under Pentagon review.
Albanese will attend a reception hosted by Trump on Tuesday in New York, although a bilateral meeting between the leaders has yet to be scheduled, the prime minister said in an interview on Monday.
Asked in an Australian television interview on Tuesday if he would meet Trump in New York, Albanese replied: "We'll see what happens there."
Australia's Washington embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
