“I look forward to building on the very constructive phone conversations that we’ve had on the three occasions that we’ve had the opportunity to talk,” he said.

“I obviously will raise tariffs. We’ll raise, as well, of AUKUS, and we will have a discussion, as two friends should.”

Amazon announced it would increase investment in Australia by up to $20 billion during the talks in Seattle.
