The “Third pillar of the alliance” one year later

On 20 May 2023, on the sidelines of the Quad Leaders’ Summit, President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a third pillar of the Australia-US alliance: the climate, critical minerals and clean energy transformation compact.

 

What does this compact involve? How much progress has been made in the past year? What will happen to this pillar of the alliance if former president Trump is re-elected?

 

To discuss these issues, USSC Non-Resident Fellow Lachlan Carey joined Director of Engagement and Impact Mari Koeck on the USSC Briefing Room.
