Trump HUMILIATES Aussie ambassador Rudd: ‘I don’t like you — and NEVER will’
U.S. President Donald Trump calls out Australian Ambassador Kevin Rudd to his face over past comments.
U.S. President Donald Trump has told Australian Ambassador to the United States and former prime minister Kevin Rudd that he doesn’t like him and probably never will.
The blunt exchange came during Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s first meeting with the U.S. President on Tuesday (Australian time), where Trump’s focus quickly shifted to Rudd.
For once, every Aussie agrees with Trump… about Kevin Rudd.

“Did an ambassador say something bad? Don’t tell me. I don’t want to know. Where is he? Is he still working for you?” Trump asked Albanese.
“I don’t know anything about him (Rudd). If he said (something) ‘bad’ then maybe he’d like to apologise.”

Albanese confirmed Rudd was still the ambassador and pointed him out in the room.
The ambassador acknowledged he had previously said bad things about Trump before his appointment but added, “I withdraw those statements.”
“I don’t like you either. And I probably never will,” Trump fired back to roaring laughter.
