Part 4/12:
Kroger critiqued Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's interactions with U.S. President Donald Trump. He warned that Albanese has refrained from securing a face-to-face meeting with Trump due to personal political differences and the risk of adverse optics. Kroger pointed out the damaging comments made by Australia’s ambassador in Washington, Kevin Ryder, who had previously criticized Trump, describing him as a “threat to democracy” and a “village idiot."
