Albanese Takes Trump’s Call — Then Snubs Washington for Jakarta

Australia’s PM talks strategy with President Trump, but his first diplomatic visit is to Indonesia.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, fresh off securing a second term, confirmed a “very warm” call with U.S. President Donald Trump. The two leaders discussed key issues, including the AUKUS defence pact and trade tariffs — but Albanese’s choice of first overseas visit is what’s drawing attention.

Jakarta Before Washington: A Strategic Shift

‍In a move seen as both symbolic and strategic, Albanese chose to visit Jakarta before Washington. While maintaining strong ties with the U.S. remains vital, the decision underscores Australia’s deepening focus on Southeast Asia. Indonesia, as a regional heavyweight, is increasingly central to Canberra’s long-term strategic and economic plans.

Why Trump First? Because He’s President Again

‍Unlike his first term, when Albanese spoke with then-former President Trump post-election, this time the conversation held immediate diplomatic weight. With Trump back in the White House, discussing AUKUS and trade is no longer theoretical — it’s policy-shaping.

Global Volatility = Investment Risk

‍Shifting alliances, rising regional powers, and unpredictable political dynamics — including the return of Trump to global leadership — are adding new layers of complexity for investors. Traditional markets face volatility, which is why many are turning to real assets like property for stability.
