Australia’s Foreign Minister, Penny Wong, has emphasized the nation’s intent to broaden its international partnerships, while notably criticizing former U.S. President Donald Trump.

“Under President Trump, the U.S. proved to be more unpredictable,” Wong remarked during an appearance on Today.

Initially supportive, Prime Minister Albanese and his administration have since adjusted their stance.

Albanese highlighted that the original goals of the conflict had been achieved, as Trump considered deploying ground troops to Iran.

This week, Albanese voiced concerns about the current objectives of the war and advocated for a reduction in hostilities.

“It’s crucial to clarify any further escalation and its intended goals,” he stated on Tuesday.

“Open the F—–‘ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” he said in a Truth Social post.

Wong told the ABC that no one should threaten the destruction of a civilisation.
