What will America's next president mean for Australia and the world?

""Trump's return does not signal an American retreat from the world . . . Rather, it foreshadows a president even more determined to get his way on the world stage, and with fewer voices of caution and restraint around him."" JAMES CURRAN

The twenty-third issue of Australian Foreign Affairs explores Australia's changing fortunes as Donald Trump returns to the White House and threatens to dismantle the diplomatic, economic and defence foundations on which Canberra has long built its security and prosperity.

Featuring special contributions from our three most recent ambassadors to the United States, Planet Australia looks at how Australian leaders and diplomats should deal with Trump and prepare for looming challenges to the alliance, open trade, and a secure and stable Asia.
* James Curran explores Australia's relationship with the United States in the age of Trump.
* Emma Shortis argues that Canberra should be bold as the global order shifts.
* Susan Stone analyses Trump's economic plan and considers how Australia might benefit.
* Kim Beazley, Joe Hockey and Arthur Sinodinos discuss the diplomatic challenges facing Australia in Washington DC.
* David Heslop and Joel Keep argue that Australia should do more to counter AI-generated chemical and biological threats.

PLUS Richard McGregor on Kevin Rudd and China, Richard Pomfret on Central Asia, Thom Woodroofe on climate diplomacy, and correspondence on AFA22- Fateful Mix from Benjamin Moffitt, Asha Clementi and Michael Wesley.
