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’s colleagues say he has stronger authority to steer the party after becoming just the third Labor leader to win a second term and the first PM to win back-to-back elections since 2004.
