Yesterday, Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) met with Ambassador Kevin Rudd of Australia. They discussed a range of topics impacting the bilateral Australia-U.S. relationship. Senator Budd discussed how the two can strengthen their relationship. Australia is a strategic ally and partner in defense, trade, and intelligence sharing. America’s priority, Budd says, must remain one of close cooperation across these efforts to deter Chinese aggression, so that the future of America and Australia is one of peace and prosperity.
