Trump to Australian ambassador: 'I don't like you either'

During a meeting with the Australian delegation, US President Donald Trump was asked about former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's critical comments towards him. Rudd, who is now the Australian ambassador in Washington, had called Trump the "most destructive" US president in history in 2020. Trump expressed his dislike for Rudd upon recognizing him at the table, stating, "I don't like you and I probably never will." In response, Rudd deleted his critical social media post from 2020, citing respect for the office of the president after Trump's electoral victory.
