The United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, is the most powerful and influential diplomat in the world.
In his only Australian television interview, Antony Blinken speaks with 60 MINUTES reporter Amelia Adams about the vital role Australia must play in maintaining peace in an increasingly dangerous world.
Secretary Blinken, along with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, has been in Brisbane for Australia-U.S. Ministerial Consultations (AUSMIN) with our Foreign Minister Penny Wong, and Defence Minister Richard Marles.
In his 60 MINUTES interview, Blinken provides an update on the war in Ukraine, an assessment of ongoing tensions with China, and closer to home, AUKUS news about those controversial nuclear-powered submarines promised for our navy.
He also issues a blunt warning about what he considers the greatest threat the world faces: climate change.
