Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese won a second term for his center-left Labor Party Saturday, defeating conservative challenger Peter Dutton in an election colored by US President Donald Trump’s trade war.

Anthony Albanese told his supporters in a victory speech in Sydney: “Australians have chosen to face global challenges the Australian way, looking after each other while building for the future.”

The Australian prime minister's first term was hampered by the headwinds of global inflation, but his fortunes rebounded by offering stability against the backdrop of Trump's volatile diplomacy.
