The relationship between Ardern and Trump has long been speculated. Ardern was described as “the anti-Trump” in a Vogue profile when she was first cast in October 2017.
The couple first met shortly after their election and Ardern says it was an interesting first meeting.
“I was waiting to come out to be featured at the East Asia Summit gala dinner … and while we waited, Trump jokingly patted the person next to him on the shoulder, pointed at me and said : ‘This lady caused a lot of unrest in her country, “speaking of the elections,” Ardern told Newsroom.
“I said, ‘Well, you know, just maybe 40 percent,’ then he said it again and I was like, ‘You know,’ laughing, ‘nobody left when I was elected.’
Ardern herself marched against Trump, as a Labor MP. She joined thousands in Auckland as part of the global women’s march the day after Trump’s inauguration in January 2017.
She also responded to a Wall Street Journal headline comparing her to Trump for her stance on immigration, saying it was “offensive.”
