CANBERRA, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- The Australia government is prepared to "get behind" U.S. President-elect Donald Trump as the gradual transition of power from outgoing President Barack Obama continues, Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Monday.
Speaking to the Australian press at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima, Peru, Turnbull said all Australians want the next chapter of U.S. politics to be a successful one, and that his government was prepared to "do everything it can" to support Trump while he is in office.
"President Obama wants President Trump to do well. He wants America to do well and America to succeed, and that's why he's reached out to the president-elect to offer his support and he has encouraged all of us including me to do exactly the same," Turnbull told the press on Monday.
"We all want the best for the United States and he wants the best for its president, so we will do everything we can to support President Trump."
