He then accused the reporter of undermining relations between the two nations: \u201cIn my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now, and they want to get along with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump added that he would raise the matter with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, saying, \u201cI\u2019m going to tell him about you. You set a very bad tone.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>When Lyons attempted to continue his questioning, Trump pressed his index finger to his lips and said \u201cquiet\u201d before turning to another journalist.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange comes as Albanese continues to seek face-to-face talks with Trump. A planned meeting in June was cancelled at the last minute after Trump left the G20 summit early to address developments in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Albanese confirmed in an interview with ABC Radio that he would meet Trump next week while in the US for the UN General Assembly. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s hosting a reception on Tuesday night of next week. And as well, we\u2019ll see each other at various forums that are taking place between now and the end of the year,\u201d the prime minister said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-94523 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/b239a1b0-9355-11f0-8455-75b8b974046c.jpg\" alt=\"Trump clashes with Australian journalist over scrutiny of business deals.\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump clashed with an Australian journalist during a press briefing after being asked about his business dealings while in office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":2000094522,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[201],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-55644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-rania-umutoni"],"bylines":[{"id":201,"name":"Rania Umutoni","slug":"rania-umutoni","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":139}],"contributors":[{"id":201,"name":"Rania Umutoni","slug":"rania-umutoni","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":139}],"featured_image":{"id":2000094522,"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/b239a1b0-9355-11f0-8455-75b8b974046c.jpg.jpg","alt":"","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","width":0,"height":0,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/b239a1b0-9355-11f0-8455-75b8b974046c.jpg.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"medium":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/b239a1b0-9355-11f0-8455-75b8b974046c.jpg.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"medium_large":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/b239a1b0-9355-11f0-8455-75b8b974046c.jpg.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"large":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/b239a1b0-9355-11f0-8455-75b8b974046c.jpg.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"full":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/b239a1b0-9355-11f0-8455-75b8b974046c.jpg.jpg","width":0,"height":0}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2000094522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55644"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=55644"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=55644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
