Anthony Albanese breaks silence on whether he will apologize to Donald Trump
Anthony Albanese has said he is “looking forward” to working with Donald Trump after being asked if he would apologize for previous comments critical of the new US president.
The prime minister was recorded saying Trump “scares the living daylights out of me” while he was shadow minister for transport and infrastructure in 2017, and insisted Australai would treat him with “timidation”.
Sunrise host Nat Barr suggested Albanese may have to apologize after Trump was elected president of the United States on Wednesday night, while Albanese was probed further about the matter by reporters on Thursday morning.
“No, I look forward to working with President Trump,” he said.
‘I think I have shown that I am able to work with world leaders and develop relationships with them that are positive.
“And I think in the two and a half years I have shown that I have had the honor of being Prime Minister.”
In 2020, Mr Albanese described Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory over Trump as a “triumph of hope over fear”.
There’s more to come.
