Donald Trump has blasted as 'dumb' a refugee deal between Australia and the United States, but Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is confident the president won't backflip on their agreement.
An explosive tweet from Mr Trump has once again cast doubt on the deal, in which the US would take refugees currently held on Manus Island and Nauru in return for Australia accepting refugees from Central America.
'Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!' the US president tweeted on Thursday.
Mr Turnbull said despite the president's tweet, he had received multiple assurances from Mr Trump, his press secretary and the US embassy the deal would be progressed.
'This is not a deal that he would've done or that he would regard as a good deal,' Mr Turnbull told Fairfax radio.
'But the question is, will he commit to honour the deal? And he has given that commitment.'
The prime minister wouldn't tell Sydney radio Macquarie Radio whether Mr Trump had labelled the deal dumb or otherwise in their phone conversation on Sunday, but has denied reports the call ended abruptly or in anger.
'I want to make one observation about it, the report the president hung up is not correct, the call ended courteously,' he said.

Are there any lies the press won’t use against President Trump?
“Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is confident the president won’t backflip on their agreement.”
LOL
I hear that Trudeau is taking refugees. Maybe Turnbull should give him a call.
I think conservatives do need to use fake news to fight against liberals’ fake news, strategically.
More of the Anti American 0bama Legacy.
“I will study this dumb deal!”
Dumb Obama can only make dumb deals. The motto of this retarded earth scorcher is “apres moi, le deluge”
This going to real blow up
We do NOT want any refugees (terrorists).
“I think conservatives do need to use fake news to fight against liberals’ fake news, strategically.”
Fairness doctrine that wipes out the left wing media.
I certainly hope that POTUS and loyal aides will be able to find the leaker and plug it.
The US SHOULD TAKE THE “REFUGEES” -— and resettle them back in MID-EAST “SAFE ZONES”.
Al-Beeb aka BBC, had this, that he hung up, as one of its main headlines all morning...proudly quoteing the Compost as a source.!!!!
There is no leaker, it is pure horseshit fake news from the msm.
What safe zones?
The ones Trump is discussing with the Saudi’s.
Ah, the imaginary ones.
Another words these guys are Taliban related Afghani and foreign Jihadi of one form or another.
Nobody else in the world wants them for obvious reasons
“What safe zones?”
***************************
The safe zones that Trump got the Saudis to agree to finance. And yes, they are not set up yet. I personally think one of them should be set up in northern Saudi Arabia. Until the safe zones are set up the “Australian” migrants can simply stay where they’re at now. There’s no need to bring them to the U.S.
And who will set them up? Who will go into Syria, take the territory for the safe zone, and keep it safe? Safe from Assad, safe from ISIS, safe from all the other fringe groups out there fighting each other. Are you willing to send U.S. troops to die in the Middle East in order to maintain a "safe zone"? I'm not.
