Aussie Leaders Send Congrats to Biden: "A Fresh Start"
Australia's top brass have sent their best wishes to Joe Biden after he became President-Elect of the United States. Prime Minister Scott Morrison led the charge, saying he was "looking forward to working with the new administration" to strengthen the US-Australia alliance, which is kinda like the best bromance ever, right?
Morrison said the relationship between the two countries is "stronger than ever" and he's "confident" that it'll continue to be a force for good in the world. That's pretty high praise from the Aussie PM, who's known for his tough stance on certain issues.
Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese also chimed in, saying he was "pleased to see a peaceful transition of power in the United States." He also said he was "hopeful" that the new administration would be more open to international cooperation – a bit of a dig at the previous administration, maybe?
But it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Some Aussie experts are a bit worried about the future of the alliance, especially with the growing tensions between the US and China. They reckon the new administration might be less willing to take a tough stance on China, which could impact Australia's own position in the region.
Only time will tell how the US-Australia relationship will evolve under the new administration. But for now, it seems like Aussie leaders are optimistic about the future. After all, the two countries have a long history of working together, and that's not gonna change anytime soon. Here's to a fresh start!
