Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has failed to secure a bilateral meeting with the US president during his visit to the UN General Assembly in New York. But no meeting with Mr Albanese is planned, leaving the Prime Minister to compete for face time at a reception hosted by Mr Trump, attended by dozens of other world leaders. Australian officials had downplayed the prospect of a meeting with Mr Trump while Mr Albanese is in the US this week. Australia formally recognised Palestine on Sunday, prompting a furious response from Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Prime Minister will warn threats to annex parts of Palestine and permanently displace Palestinians could end any chance at peace.
