Albanese’s flight left Washington on Wednesday morning AEST but landed at St Louis Lambert International Airport in Missouri after a crew member on the RAAF flight is believed to have been injured.

The individual was hit in the head by luggage from the overhead locker and suffered a concussion.

They are being taken to hospital.

Albanese was on the way home from his trip to the US where he met with US President Donald Trump.

The nation’s two leaders signed an agreement on rare earth and critical minerals on Tuesday.

During the meeting Trump and Australia’s US ambassador Kevin Rudd were engaged in an awkward exchange, with the President saying he didn’t like him.

Despite this Albanese labelled the meeting as very successful and said he got on “very well” with Trump.

“We have been very focused on outcomes, the personal relationship with President Trump has gone very well, and it was a very successful couple of days I’ve had,” he told Sunrise on Wednesday morning.
