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.

Australia's Anthony Albanese, who claimed a historic second term as prime minister on Saturday, is a pragmatic leader who revived his campaign by offering stability against the backdrop of U.S. President Donald Trump's volatile diplomacy.

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.”
