About this episode
In the wake of his cancelled meeting with Donald Trump, Anthony Albanese is vowing to meet with the US President "very soon" — leaving the door open to a snap visit to the Hague for the NATO summit.
But if the Prime Minister fails to meet with the US President on the sidelines of yet another summit, PK and David Speers warn this could leave him looking desperate.
And as the Israel-Iran situation continues to escalate, speculation is whirring about whether or not the US will get involved — it comes as Australia continues to urge de-escalation and restraint from all parties.
Patricia Karvelas and David Speers break it all down on Politics Now.How Trump Shifted on Iran Under Pressure from Israel: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/us/politics/trump-iran-israel-nuclear-talks.html
