Donald Trump allegedly told Australian ambassador Kevin Rudd he did not like him, underscoring the longstanding tension between the two officials.

Kevin Rudd
Australian Foreign Ministry
1. He drags America and democracy through the mud. He thrives on fomenting, not healing, division. He abuses Christianity, Church and Bible to justify violence.
Penny Wong
Australian Foreign Ministry
1. He is recognised across this parliament as doing an excellent job in advancing Australia's interests in the United States.
2. Kevin did an extremely good job, not only in getting the meeting, but doing the work on the critical minerals deal and AUKUS … and the success of [the] meeting reflects that work.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. I don't know much about him. I heard he was a little bit nasty. I hear he's not the brightest bulb. But I don't know much about him. But if he's at all hostile, he will not be there long.
2. Did an ambassador say something bad about me? Don't tell me. Where is he, is he still working for you?
Australian Embassy
1. Out of respect for the office of president of the United States, and following the election of President Trump, Ambassador Rudd has now removed these past commentaries from his personal website and social media channels.
