Australia's Greens leader calls to abandon AUKUS deal
Greens leader Adam Bandt has called for Australia to withdraw from the AUKUS deal with the U.S. following new tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. He argues that the tariffs create risks for Australia and suggest a need to rethink international relationships. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has rejected the idea of leaving AUKUS, stating it is beneficial for Australia. The government sought an exemption from Trump's tariffs but was informed that no countries would be spared. The Greens are also preparing for a potential minority government after the upcoming federal election. Bandt expressed openness to a formal agreement with Labor, aiming to address issues like climate change and healthcare.
