Australia bolstering ties with Trump and Harris allies

Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles and Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong have reportedly met Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump’s former top diplomat Mike Pompeo. According to the Financial review, the meeting was aimed at bolstering ties with the former US President during a close election race. The plan was created by Australia's Ambassador to the U.S. Kevin Rudd, who wants to grow relations with the allies of Mr Trump and Kamala Harris. Mr Pompeo is expected to receive a senior role if Mr Trump returns to power.
