Great to speak with President @realDonaldTrump last night.

The Alliance between the United States and Australia is 75 years old and going from strength to strength.

We will continue to work closely to advance Australian and American interests including in critical minerals, artificial intelligence, and AUKUS. 🇦🇺 🇺🇸

Great to catch up again with Maryland Governor @GovWesMoore.

Governor Moore showed real interest in our world-leading social media reforms, and it was great to discuss our states’ shared leadership in the defence and space sectors.

The US Naval Academy in Maryland is a truly impressive institution.

It was valuable to learn more about how the United States prepares the next generation of naval officers, including those who go on to serve in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program and aboard Virginia-class submarines.

Thanks to US Naval Academy Superintendent Lieutenant General Michael Borgschulte for welcoming me to the Academy.

A real honour to have four US Senators join us at the Australian Embassy in Washington DC.

Thank you to @SenTimKaine of Virginia, @JeanneShaheen of New Hampshire,

And thank you to @AusintheUS Ambassador Greg Moriarty for hosting.

It was a great opportunity to discuss AUKUS, the Australia–United States alliance, and showcase the enormous opportunities South Australia has to offer.

Thanks to the team at STACK Infrastructure, including Joe Kendra, for showing me around their data centre in Manassas, Virginia

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

Great meeting with @Rep_Walkinshaw in Fairfax, Virginia. An opportunity to talk about Virginia’s experience with data centres, as well as the broader relationship between Australia and the United States.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

Northern Virginia is known as ‘Data Centre Alley’, at one point handling an estimated 70% of global internet traffic.

It was a pleasure to meet with @SuhasforVA in Leesburg to discuss Virginia’s experience with data centres, as well as the importance of AUKUS.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

An outstanding turnout from industry leaders in Washington DC to hear South Australia’s story and learn about the incredible opportunities in our great state.

Thank you to @AusintheUS for hosting this event at Australia’s Embassy in Washington DC.

A pleasure to meet with Senator for Nebraska Deb Fischer on Capitol Hill to discuss AUKUS and Data Centres in her home state.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

Data centres are booming in the United States. Today in Washington, I addressed a roundtable of leading figures from across the data centre industry to learn how South Australia can seize this opportunity, but importantly, do it on our terms - for the benefit of South Australians.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

Hermeus are pursuing an ambitious project to build reusable hypersonic aircraft. A really interesting discussion with their team, led by Chief Executive Zach Shore, about opportunities in South Australia.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

A productive discussion with the team from Carlyle Group – a leading global asset manager – about investment opportunities in South Australia, including our nation-leading renewable energy sector.

A pleasure to meet with Vice Admiral Rob Gaucher, the United States’ Director of Submarine Programs, at the Washington Navy Yard.

Vice Admiral Gaucher’s extensive experience provided valuable insights into delivering AUKUS in South Australia.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

Great to catch up with Admiral Bill Houston, Director of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program (@USNavyNNPP) in Washington, for an insightful discussion with a significant leader when it comes to AUKUS.

(We also exchanged @Commanders and @PAFC guernseys)

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

Kicking off my visit to Washington DC with our Ambassador, Greg Moriarty AO, an outstanding representative for Australia in the United States.

Thanks to the Ambassador and his team for all their support as we work to advance the opportunities AUKUS presents for South Australia during our time in DC.

[Ambassador Greg Moriarty @AusAmbUSA]

Illinois is on track to become a quantum powerhouse.

Great to meet with Governor @JBPritzker to discuss the role Australian companies are playing in quantum research, investment and innovation.

[Ambassador Greg Moriarty @AusAmbUSA]

A $45 washing machine helped launch an Australian company making healthcare safer across America.

Forty years ago, engineer Dan Daniels sold the machine to microbiologist Allan Perceval. Their conversation sparked an idea to better protect healthcare workers from dangerous medical waste. Today, Daniels Health is headquartered in Chicago and supports healthcare facilities across the United States.

Great to meet Dan and hear the remarkable story behind his American success.
