About this episode
The Albanese Government is playing down the Trump Administration's review of the AUKUS agreement, with Deputy leader Richard Marles suggesting the move was "completely natural". It comes as the Prime Minister is set to meet with the US President on the sidelines of the G7 Summit — so, is Donald Trump trying to force Australia's hand?
And Australia has joined with four allies to sanction two Israeli Ministers for "inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank". And while the Opposition hasn't outright criticised the move — they're calling into question the "threshold" for such a decision.
Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly are joined by Charles Croucher, Nine Chief Political Reporter on The Party Room.
