Australia is one of America\\u2019s key allies in the Liberal Order in Asia. The early \\u2018rocky start\\u2019 to Australia - Trump foreign policy\\u2019 relations raises many of the key issues in US foreign policy in the Age of Trump. Where does Trump\\u2019s \\u2018America First\\u2019 approach stand today and how do Australia\\u2019s leaders react to it? If the US in the Age of Trump is no longer willing automatically to step up to global leadership, what stance will Australia take in the future. In particular, how does Australia balance its relations with China and the United Sates in global and regional trade and security matters? \\n\\nNick is the Executive Director of La Trobe Asia at La Trobe University and is also Editor-in-Chief of the venerable Journal, the Australian Journal of International Affairs as well as the director of the Australian Institute of International Affairs.'
