Kevin Rudd issues grovelling apology to Donald Trump following humiliating conference

Australia’s ambassador to the US Kevin Rudd was left humiliated by US President Donald Trump during a meeting on Monday. During the meeting, Trump was asked about Rudd’s disparaging comments about the US president in the past. Despite Rudd’s brutal dressing down by Trump, the president went searching for the ambassador so the two men could clear the air. According to a person attending the meeting, Trump asked, “Is the guy still here”, before seemingly clarifying to Rudd “all’s forgiven”. The former Australian prime minister and current ambassador grovelingly said sorry to Trump, “I apologise, Mr President”.
