Queensland Premier David Crisafulli described it as a “golden opportunity” to bring the US president to Australia.

It would also provide a chance for Anthony Albanese and the US president to finally have a formal sitdown.

The PM said he has spoken to Crisafulli and supports the pitch to have the annual foreign leaders’ meeting in the Sunshine State.

Albanese vowed to work with the premier to “make sure that happens”.

“I want to showcase this great state of Queensland to the world, particularly in the lead-up to Brisbane 2032,” he said.

Crisafulli told Today that his Quad bid is not just about bringing Trump and his team to Australia.

“It’s not about a president, it’s about an economic opportunity across four nations,” the premier said.

“If we want things, we can’t sit back, we’ve got to go out and get them.

“I feel the way things are happening at the moment, this state is on the verge of going to the next level, and we’re going to reach out and grab it.”

The diplomatic meeting, which India is scheduled to host next month, brings leaders from the US, Australia, India and Japan to discuss security and prosperity for the Indo-Pacific region.

However, ongoing trade tensions could threaten to derail the four-nation sitdown after Trump threatened to double tariffs on Indian exports to the US.

There are concerns Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi may pull the plug on the meeting, further delaying any meeting between Albanese and Trump.

The PM had flagged the meeting, which was expected to take place in New Delhi, as a potential backdrop for his first in-person conversation with Trump.

No date has been confirmed for the Quad meeting this year or next.

Albanese yesterday said he was not ruling out the chance of a Trump meeting at a UN summit in New York next month.

“I’m available for a meeting with President Trump at very short notice, at any time,” the PM told the media.

“We’ll continue to engage. We engaged with our American colleagues on a ministerial level, and I’ve been engaged in constructive discussions with President Trump.”
