Much to discuss with US - Rudd

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said he and the US President had a 'truckload of issues' to talk about when the Barack Obama visits Australia next month. 

They range from climate change to Afghanistan, but even higher on the to-do list will be the future of the global economy, reported the AFR.

"The recovery of the US economy is critical to us all and I'm all for boosting the Australia-US economic relationship," Rudd said.

Australia still looks to the US for a guarantee of security under the Australia-US alliance and the US is still the largest source of foreign investment in Australia.

Accompanied by his wife, Obama is expected to visit Sydney and Canberra.
