Earlier, Albanese on Monday (local time) hailed the landmark agreements worth billions signed with the US, aimed at strengthening cooperation on critical minerals and defence collaboration.

In a post on X, the Australian PM stated the deals were "an exciting new chapter" in the shared history of the two allies.

"For decades, Australia's alliance with the United States has supported security and prosperity. Our partnership is strong. And I'm here in Washington D.C. with President Trump building on it for the future," Albanese said in the post, following the official signing of the deals at the White House.

"Today we've announced we'll make more things together -- using Australia's critical minerals to power American technology. A huge investment by both our countries in Australia. And an exciting new chapter in our shared history," he added.

The agreements were signed during a joint event with US President Donald Trump at the Oval Office, marking a significant step in expanding economic and strategic ties between the two countries.

"We are great friends and we're great allies. Our defence and security partnership with AUKUS is so important and our economic relationship is so important. Today's agreement on critical minerals and rare earths is just taking it to the next level," Albanese said during the ceremony.

"Force for good" is quite a claim. While I respect the alliance, let's not forget historical interventions that weren't exactly "good" for everyone. Balanced perspective needed.

While I support international cooperation, I hope such partnerships don't create exclusive blocs. The world needs inclusive growth, not closed groups.
