'I don't like you either,' Trump to Australian Ambassador Rudd

While Trump and Australia's Albanese interacted warmly during talks at the White House, there was an awkward moment when the U.S. president was asked about past criticism of him by Australia's U.S. ambassador Kevin Rudd, a former prime minister. Rudd in 2020 called Trump "the most destructive president in history," later deleting the comment from social media.

Trump said he was not aware of the critical comments and asked where the envoy was now, before seeing him sitting across the table.
