Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's had the first of two dinners at the White House, in a low-key gathering with his partner Jodie, and Joe and Jill Biden.

In his second day in the United States, the PM announced the Australian government will pump another $2 billion into mining and processing critical minerals. The sector is currently dominated by China, but vital to climate goals globally because of the materials' use in clean energy technology.

Mr Albanese is also hoping to shore up support for the AUKUS security pact while in Washington.

Tomorrow, the Prime Minister will be feted in a day of talks with the President and his cabinet secretaries, who've prepared a swag of new energy and infrastructure projects to implement in Australia and the Pacific.

The ABC's Greg Jennett is in Washington DC.
