The Australian Ambassador to the US Kevin Rudd has weighed in on the assassination attempt of Donald Trump during a wide-ranging exclusive interview with Bondi Partners Global President Joe Hockey for Sky News Australia interview from the Republican National Convention.

Mr Rudd was interviewed by former federal treasurer and former Australian ambassador to the United States Joe Hockey on the convention floor.

“When Donald Trump came in here last night to the convention … you could see on his face that he had been affected by the events of Saturday,” Mr Rudd said.

“This was not the normal fist pumping Donald Trump; this was a more reflective Donald Trump. “If it was you or I back in Australia, this would have a profound effect on our psychology – our sense of who we are in national political life.”
