US President, Donald Trump will host Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, today in in New York, to reaffirm ties after a rocky start earlier this year.
Trump had reportedly labeled a February call between the two leaders about a refugee deal as his worst that day.
The leaders' first meeting in person is expected to cover topics including security, trade and North Korea.
It is also to mark 75 years since the Battle of the Coral Sea in World War Two, key to ties between the nations.
In a statement, Prime Minister, Turnbull said the meeting with President Trump will provide an opportunity to reaffirm Australia’s alliance and the United States' engagement with the Asia Pacific.
Also, White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, said President Trump is looking forward to meeting the prime minister and showcasing the enduring bonds, deep friendship and close alliance the US has with Australia.
