US President Donald Trump appears set to visit Australia in November.
Mr Trump, along with other world leaders, is expected to make stops in Australia as part of a tour that will take him to the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation leaders' summit in Papua New Guinea on November 17 and 18.
One option being considered is Mr Trump visiting Sydney, Canberra and Cairns, but nothing had been "locked in" yet, a US government source told The Australian newspaper.

Mr Trump could also fly into Brisbane, an expected entry point for leaders on their way to PNG.
It would be Mr Trump's first Australian visit as president.
Mr Trump is also expected to attend the ASEAN and East Asia Summits in Singapore days before the APEC meeting in Port Moresby.
The president met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore earlier this month for historic nuclear disarmament talks.
Mr Trump, an outspoken critic of leader summits, could also decide to skip the Asia-Pacific tour, with domestic issues potentially flaring following the crucial US mid-term elections on November 6 that could erode his Republican Party's control of congress.
