Under this deal, Australia has to invest $1,000 billion in the US, and the US only invests $5 billion in Australia return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Has there ever been a more one-sided deal? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the cost to Australia of the weak and incompetent Albanese, and selfish individuals like Rudd, who should have immediately resigned when Trump became President again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump knew that Albanese was so desperate to be seen doing any &#8220;deal&#8221; and that corrupt media could report as a &#8220;success&#8221; for Albanese, that Trump could make the terms as totally favourable to the US, and the weak, incompetent Albanese would be happy to sign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia has been dudded in this one-sided deal, and the hopelessly incompetent Albanese and Rudd are to blame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as usual, don\u2019t expect any of this to reported by the corrupt and dishonest Australian media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t expect the hopeless weak and cowardly Liberal Party to say anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a class=\"twitter-timeline\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"960\" data-dnt=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/craigkellyAFEE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by craigkellyAFEE<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under the terms of the deal released by the US Embassy in Canberra, Australia is required to invest an extra 1 trillion dollars ($1,000 billion) in the USA by 2035. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":306371,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,7862],"tags":[9031,11581,11],"class_list":["post-306370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-donald-trump","tag-anthony-albanese","tag-kevin-rudd","tag-usa"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=306370"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306370\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":306373,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306370\/revisions\/306373"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/306371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=306370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=306370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=306370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
