‘Looming diplomatic mess’: Chris Kenny weighs in on Trump remarks about Kevin Rud

Sky News host Chris Kenny has weighed in on GB News host Nigel Farage’s exclusive interview with Donald Trump and the former president's comments on Australia’s Ambassador to the US Kevin Rudd. The former president said during the interview he heard Rudd was “nasty” and “not the brightest bulb”. “If he is at all hostile, he will not be there long,” he said. “Wow, the former president, who is the frontrunner at this stage to return to the White House, he's putting the mockers on our ambassador already,” Mr Kenny said. “Doesn't this just underline what a poor appointment Rudd was in the first place?” Mr Kenny said our government is now forced to stand by a US ambassador who is “flagrantly and colourfully antagonistic” towards the former president, who could be re-elected to the White House in November. “This all adds up to a looming diplomatic mess with our most important ally– and it is a mess that Kevin Rudd is in no position to fix.”
