Albanese vows to 'stand up' for Australia after Trump warning
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has vowed to "always stand up for Australia's national interests" in response to US President Donald Trump's criticism of his government's tech safety agenda, signaling a potential clash between the two leaders. Trump attacked international efforts to keep artificial intelligence under "human control" as a "globalist scheme" at the UN, while the US Embassy in Canberra criticized Australia's proposed digital duty of care, which would impose hefty fines on tech firms failing to protect Australians. Speaking in New York ahead of a dinner hosted by Trump, Albanese said his government would not be deterred from its digital safety agenda, expressing pride in Australia's actions on social media regulation.
