Senator Jones Calls for Rudd's Resignation After "Disgraceful" Trump Meeting
Hold onto your hats, folks, this is a wild one. Senator Sarah Jones, known for her outspoken views, has just called for the resignation of Foreign Minister David Rudd following his controversial meeting with President Trump.
Jones, a fierce critic of the current administration, slammed the meeting as "a complete disaster" and accused Rudd of "selling out" Australia's interests for a photo op.
What went down? Well, Rudd met with Trump in the Oval Office last week, and it seems like things didn't go exactly as planned. Jones claims that Rudd was "completely submissive" to Trump, agreeing to everything he said without challenging him on anything.
"It was embarrassing to watch," Jones said in a press conference. "Rudd was just a yes-man, nodding along to Trump's every whim. It's like he forgot he was representing Australia."
Jones's comments come on the heels of a growing backlash against Rudd's handling of the Trump meeting. Critics have pointed to Rudd's failure to raise key issues like climate change and trade, which are crucial to Australia's future.
The Prime Minister has so far refused to comment on Jones's call for Rudd's resignation. But with public pressure mounting, Rudd might be feeling the heat.
It's a tough time for Australia's foreign relations, that's for sure. The Trump administration has been a thorn in the side of many countries, and Australia is no exception.
So, what happens next? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: this story is far from over.
