Prime Minister Scott Morrison is on his way to the United States for a six-day visit where he'll meet with President Donald Trump. It's the first official visit to the US by an Australian prime minister since George W Bush hosted John Howard in 2006. Mr Morrison's trip is taking place as the US puts pressure on Iran over the attack on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities and as its trade war with China intensifies.
