Donald Trump’s global influence is looming over Australia’s upcoming federal election.

Axar.az, citing BBC, reports that as the U.S. imposes new tariffs and shifts its foreign policy, Australian leaders are being forced to confront their alliance with an increasingly unpredictable partner.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has criticized Trump's trade moves but avoided retaliation, while opposition leader Peter Dutton has faced backlash for previously aligning himself too closely with Trump.

With Australia’s strategic reliance on the U.S. through defense alliances like Aukus and growing tensions with China, the stakes are high.

Polls suggest Trump's actions may be boosting support for Albanese, as Australians seek stability amid global uncertainty.
