In an interview with GB News, the former US president said he had heard Rudd was 'not the brightest bulb' and suggested he would not last long as Australia's ambassador to the United States.

The Australian Government has responded to former US president Donald Trump's criticism of Kevin Rudd, Australia's ambassador to the United States. In an exclusive interview with GB News, Trump — who is the presumptive Republican nominee in the 2024 US presidential election — described Rudd as "nasty" and suggested he "would not last long" if he is re-elected.

The interview was conducted with high-profile British conservative Nigel Farage , who asked about the AUKUS agreement and Rudd on behalf of Sky News Australia. Rudd, a former prime minister of Australia, has previously described Trump as a "destructive president" who is "a traitor to the West". In response to Farage's questions, Trump suggested Rudd's tenure in the position would be brief if he is re-elected.
