The President had a tense exchange with an Australia reporter and says he'll meet Albo "soon".

The ABC has reportedly been blocked from Donald Trump’s planned press conference in the UK this week after he clashed with the national broadcaster’s Americas editor John Lyons.

Officials withdrew the ABC’s accreditation for the media event citing “capacity reasons”, according to The Guardian, which broke the story.

NewsWire has contacted the ABC for comment.
