US President Donald Trump spoke with new Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on phone over bilateral ties and future cooperation last Friday night, the White House said.

白宮方面日前表示，美國總統唐納德·特朗普於上週五晚與澳大利亞新總理斯科特·莫里森通了電話，討論了雙邊關係和未來合作。

In a statement, the White House said Trump congratulated Morrison on his recent election.

白宮在一則聲明中表示，特朗普對莫里森近日的當選表示了祝賀。

"The two leaders underscored the importance of the bilateral partnership between the United States and Australia," read the statement. "They also pledged to continue to closely cooperate on priorities the two countries share."

該聲明稱：“兩位領導人強調了美國和澳大利亞雙邊夥伴關係的重要性。他們還承諾在兩國共同的優先事項上繼續密切合作。”

Trump last Friday also tweeted, "Congratulations to new Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison. There are no greater friends than the United States and Australia!"

特朗普上週五還發推特稱：“祝賀澳大利亞新任總理斯科特·莫里森。沒有比美國和澳大利亞更鐵的友誼了！”

Morrison was sworn in as the 30th prime minister of Australia, after winning the ballot for leadership of the ruling Liberal Party.

莫里森在贏得澳大利亞執政黨自由黨領導人選舉後，就任的澳大利亞第30任總理。

Morrison replaced Malcolm Turnbull, who resigned as the prime minister after 45 of the 85 Liberal Party Members of Parliament (MPs) voted to vacate the leadership at the meeting.

莫里森是接替了馬爾科姆·特恩布爾的職務。在議會85名自由黨議員中有45人在會議上投票退出領導後，特恩布爾辭去了總理職務。
