China, Russia and the climate: Priority concerns for the US in the Pacific | 60 Minutes Australia
Jul 30 2023
The United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, is the most powerful and influential diplomat in the world. In his only Australian television interview, 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.

For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes.
