Prime Minister Scott Morrison is in the United States for a six-day visit where he'll meet with President Donald Trump.
It's the first official visit to the US by an Australian prime minister since George W Bush hosted John Howard in 2006.
Mr Morrison's trip is taking place as the US puts pressure on Iran over the attack on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities and as its trade war with China intensifies.
During his visit on Monday 23rd September in New York the United Nations will open the Climate Change Summit in New York.
Australia and other coal-supporting economies will not be speaking at the United Nations Climate Change summit in New York.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has made it clear only leaders with a clear climate action plan will be allowed to speak as the cost of inaction is too high. "We are losing the race against climate change. Our world is off-track in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals. Climate change is not only a threat for the end of the century, but climate change is already a tragic problem of our society. But it is true that if things go on as they are, the young generations when they come to adult age, or to the last periods of their lives, will be even more dramatically impacted.”
Us Politics expert, Giampiero Gramaglia, has the latest from US.
