In his first public comments since Trump’s election victory, Rudd said he and his fellow diplomats were well-placed to work with the incoming president.
Australia’s US ambassador Kevin Rudd has insisted he and his fellow diplomats in Washington will have strong relations with the incoming Trump administration after a top adviser to the president-elect suggested Rudd’s days in the US capital were numbered.
“Here at the embassy, we’ve been working hard through the course of the last year to ensure that we were well-prepared for this moment,” Rudd said in a video message to a forum organised by the University of Sydney’s United States Studies Centre.“The team here at the embassy and the government of Australia are ready to work closely with the new Trump administration to continue to realise the benefits of what is a very strong economic and security partnership.
Sinodinos said that Australia, the US and the United Kingdom should put Telsa founder and Trump ally Elon Musk in charge of AUKUS if that is what is required to secure the future of the pact.
