New York Post columnist and Fox News contributor Miranda Devine said United States President Donald Trump’s first official meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was a diplomatic success for Australia - but it was the tense exchange with ambassador Kevin Rudd which stole global attention.

Anthony Albanese says he is “not at all” worried about Donald Trump’s feelings toward Australia after the US President unleashed on embattled ambassador Kevin Rudd.

From the White House on Monday, US President Donald Trump waxed lyrical about his country's friendship with Australia. "We've been long-term, longtime allies and I would say there's never been anybody better," Trump told Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, at the pair's first official meeting.

Donald Trump has clashed with Australian reporters, labelling one journalist "nasty" during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Trump committed to providing nuclear submarines to Australia, ending speculation that the deal would be dropped.
