Kevin Rudd to remain ambassador if Donald Trump wins US election

Sky News Australia can reveal that if Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump wins power in the United States, Kevin Rudd will be “remaining Australia’s ambassador in Washington,” said Sky News political editor Andrew Clennell. “This after Lara Trump's comments on the Erin Molan show on Friday, which followed Trump having a crack at the former Australian PM earlier in the year,” Mr Clennell said. “From the Australian government's point of view, to pull Rudd out in the wake of a Trump victory would be a bad look for Australia and suggest we are controlled by another country. “So I am told there is no prospect this will occur.”
