Australian PM Admits Controversial Trump Phone Call As “Very Frank”

Australia’s Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says his phone conversation with US President Donald Trump this week was “cordial” but “very frank” as Trump reportedly expressed his anger over the proposed refugee deal between the two countries, reports China’s Xinhua news agency.. The deal was signed by Turnbull and the previous Obama administration late last year, and requires the United States to take in around 1,200 asylum seekers from Australia’s offshore detention centres on Nauru and Manus Island.
