Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is visiting Washington this week to discuss plans to cooperate on critical minerals and bolster Pacific Islands infrastructure with the United States. The two leaders will also flesh out details of further cyber security cooperation, in addition to a $5 billion Microsoft investment in Australia. The centerpiece of Albanese's schedule is a critical minerals task force to boost private investment in Australia's rare earths industry and reduce global reliance on China.
