Trump is facing Australian journalist for business deals

“I don’t know,” Trump replied, saying that his children were doing business. He added that Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albonez about Lyon, adding “You set up a very bad tone”.

On Thursday, ABC said it reported the press service of the UK Prime Minister that there was no longer a place to participate in a joint press conference with Trump and Sir Keir Starmer.
