From the White House on Monday, US President Donald Trump waxed lyrical about his country's friendship with Australia.
"We've been long-term, longtime allies and I would say there's never been anybody better," Trump told Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, at the pair's first official meeting.
"We fought wars together and we never had any doubts," he said.
Australia though, for arguably the first time in its history, is feeling some creep in.
The US has historically been seen as its best friend, the ultimate ally.
