Australia’s new US ambassador Kevin Rudd told President Joe Biden he would work to improve the US-China relationship. He also said he is not afraid of Donald Trump.
| Former prime minister and Australia’s new Ambassador to the US Kevin Rudd told President Joe Biden on Wednesday he hoped to play a role in trying to stabilise the relationship between the US and China, following Canberra’s recent success with repairing its own ties with Beijing.
“If you look day to day, week to week in the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, the East China Sea, we are worried about the possibility of crisis and conflict arising by accident, through collision of aircraft and collision of vessels,” Mr Rudd said.
