Gary Hardgrave has called for Australia’s Ambassador to the United States Kevin Rudd to be dismissed to restore Australia's relationship with the US and particularly Donald Trump. Hardgrave said on 4BC Drive "I think the failure to secure a meeting reflects poorly on our US ambassador, he should be recalled, it's time to replace him as a gesture to the United States." "So I think we've gotta give an inch or else the PM will find that the president will stay a mile away from us." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This ABC discusses Australia's decision to send retired M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine despite some private frustrations expressed by US officials regarding their potential usefulness and sustainment challenges in the current conflict. Work has reportedly begun to load the first of the 49 tanks onto a cargo ship, though the Australian government will not disclose specific arrival details for security reasons. Ukraine's president has thanked Australia for the donation, while some concerns about the tanks' vulnerability to drones have been raised by Australian Defence officials. The article also mentions past criticisms of Australia's refusal to donate retired helicopters to Ukraine. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Visitor numbers to the United States have significantly decreased, particularly from Australia, marking the sharpest drop since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. This decline is attributed to several factors, including increased border security measures under the Trump administration leading to detentions and deportations, alongside rising anxiety among potential travellers. Concerns about unpredictable entry procedures and the searching of electronic devices have been reported. Furthermore, unfavourable exchange rates and strained international relations are also contributing to this downturn in tourism, prompting travel warnings from several countries and discussions of boycotts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sky News Australia reports a downturn in Australia-US relations stemming from the Trump administration's decision to cease funding for seven Australian universities. This action followed inquiries to researchers about Chinese funding and university stances on gender. Prime Minister Albanese is urged to convene an emergency meeting to assess the impact of this funding cut, potentially leaving a significant deficit for Australian research. The US administration cited its "America First" agenda, objecting to "DEI, woke gender ideology and the green new deal" as reasons for this funding pause, prioritising American taxpayer money for domestic priorities. Australian science and education bodies are calling for a strong government response to protect research interests, though the Australian government states it will continue to advocate for collaborative research. The US has indicated that its funding decisions will align with its own priorities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plenty of security experts feel that the defence industry could learn a bit from Silicon Valley when it comes to moving more quickly, embracing disruption and making quicker decisions. One of them is Dr Bill Greenwalt of the American Enterprise Institute, one of the most sought-after US thinkers on defence acquisition. He's a former Senate Armed Services Committee staffer and deputy defense undersecretary for industrial policy. Today, Dr Greenwalt speaks with ASPI's Bec Shrimpton about Australia-US industry and tech collaboration, and about how to stay ahead in the innovation race that lies at the heart of today's strategic competition. In our second segment, ASPI's Vahri Fotheringham talks to Shane Huntley, the head of Google's threat analysis group.

Australia, US Defense Leaders Weigh in on Pacific; US Sanctions Iranian Oil Sales to China

Prime Minister Albanese meets Pacific leaders in Fiji as the US makes a major pitch to get more involved in the region amid competition from China.

Australia has a strong alliance with America, one that has remained unwavering through changes of leadership and turbulent international developments. While agreements such as AUKUS and the Quad have strengthened our position in the region, it has come at the cost of relations with other states in the region and could in the future draw us into conflict. Where does this leave our future security and prosperity in Asia? Is there a better way to navigate the disruption caused by China's rise?
