00:00You said bad?
00:01Before I took this position, Mr. President Biden.
00:04I don't like you either.
00:05And I probably never will.
00:09During a meeting at the White House and in front of reporters' cameras,
00:13President Donald Trump, true to form, did not hesitate to say what was on his mind.
00:19He turned to Australia's ambassador, Kevin Rudd, and said,
00:23I don't like you, and I probably never will.
00:26The remark came during Trump's first official meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
00:33in a moment that surprised those present.
00:36If you said bad, then maybe he'll like to apologize.
00:39I wrote, I know, did an ambassador say something bad about him?
00:43Don't tell me.
00:45Where is he? Is he still working for you?
00:47Yeah, yeah.
00:50The reason behind Trump's comment was that Rudd had previously posted critical remarks about him online.
00:56which he later deleted after being appointed ambassador.
01:01Following the awkward exchange, Rudd apologized to Trump for his past comments.
01:06And according to U.S. reports, Trump ultimately accepted the apology.
