Australia should reconsider alliance with ‘fiercely unpredictable’ US, former foreign ministers say
AI Summary
Two former Australian Labor foreign ministers, Bob Carr and Gareth Evans, have urged the Albanese government to reconsider Australia's alliance with the United States. Their call comes amid concerns about Donald Trump's foreign policy decisions, including military intervention in Venezuela and renewed interest in acquiring Greenland. Carr described the US under Trump as a "fiercely unpredictable" ally, posing a "colossal challenge" for Australia. Evans suggested the Aukus pact, a security agreement between Australia, the UK, and the US, should be re-evaluated in light of these concerns. The former ministers' statements, made to Guardian Australia, highlight growing unease about the reliability of the US as an ally under potential future Trump administrations.
