US President Donald Trump engaged in a dispute during a question-and-answer session with Australian ABC channel journalist John Lyons. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The journalist asked Trump how much his wealth had increased since his presidency. Trump regarded this question as an attempt to harm Australia and expressed dissatisfaction.
The president emphasized that his children manage the business and tried to avoid the question. He also reminded that he would soon meet with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, saying, "I will talk to him about you."
In response to the next question, he called on the journalist to be silent. Recently, relations between the US and Australia have cooled.
The US imposed additional tariffs on Australian exports. Albanese called this contrary to friendly relations.
John Lyons described Trump's reaction as unfounded and characterized his questions as usual and impartial. The ABC channel stated that the questions were asked as part of a program investigating the president's business activities.
This incident highlights the complexity of relations between the two countries.
