About this episode
Kevin Rudd, Australia’s ambassador to the United States, does not appear to like Donald Trump – and the feeling is mutual.
Speculation about Rudd's ability to work with the incoming Trump administration has flared, as Rudd’s historical criticisms of Donald Trump have caught the eye of some in the US president-elect’s inner-circle.
This week, speculation peaked when a senior adviser to Trump reposted Rudd’s congratulatory statement to the president-elect on social media with a GIF of an hourglass.
Today, special correspondent for The Saturday Paper Jason Koutsoukis, on whether the incoming US administration will seek retribution, and if the Albanese government will stand up to them.
