Rudd’s Golf Club Meeting with Trump Revealed
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, JUL 10 – Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed a diplomatic cable followed the January meeting between Ambassador Kevin Rudd and President Trump.
- On January 11, 2025, Australia's ambassador to the United States, Kevin Rudd, held a brief meeting with President Donald Trump at the Florida golf course owned by the US President, specifically in a dining area within the facility located in West Palm Beach.
- The meeting took place after a planned in-person discussion at the recent G7 summit did not happen, as Trump departed the event prematurely to manage a US military action targeting Iranian nuclear facilities.
- The meeting was brief and informal, with officials confirming that a diplomatic cable was created, although the government shared only limited information publicly.
- Senator James Paterson criticized the Albanese Government’s secrecy and said they engaged in ‘excruciating obfuscation’ in senate estimates amid US threats of tariffs on steel, aluminium, and $2 billion in pharmaceutical exports.
- These developments highlight ongoing tensions in Australia-US relations, with calls for more transparency and concerns over trade levies and defence spending commitments.
