Australia still frets over Trump threat to submarines deal but is calm over Harris

SYDNEY - Before he was appointed Australia’s Ambassador to Washington, former prime minister Kevin Rudd – a seasoned observer of international affairs –

delivered some biting assessments of Donald Trump,

describing him as America’s “most destructive president”, “nuts”, and a “traitor to the West”.

But Mr Rudd has since changed his tone, sending a message in recent weeks that a second Trump presidency would be “perfectly” manageable.
