The departing US ambassador said: “I grew up with him, so I’ve known all this for a long time; others are just getting to know him.”
Departing United States ambassador Caroline Kennedy has rubbished the controversial scientific views of her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Donald Trump’s choice to lead America’s premier public health agency.
RFK Jr has linked vaccines to autism – a discredited theory long rejected by scientists – and promised that a Trump administration would advise all US water systems to remove fluoride from public water. Describing AUKUS as a “game-changer” for security in the Indo-Pacific, Kennedy said: “To those who still question whether AUKUS is necessary, ask the Philippines and Vietnam what it’s like to have your ships rammed and sunk by Chinese ‘coast guard’ vessels, or Japan what happens when missiles land close to shore, or the Pacific nations when your most precious resource is destroyed by an industrial-scale fishing armada.
