Can We Trust America? looks at the uncertainties for Australia as questions arise about the commitment of its closest ally. As the US dominance in the Asia- Pacific is challenged by China and the “America First” shift away from global engagement, the eighth issue of Australian Foreign Affairs offers four fascinating timely perspectives on this key relationship.

Presented by Australian Foreign Affairs in partnership with The University of Melbourne.
