Spat between Turnbull, Prime Minister of Australia and President Donald Trump over a refugee resettlement deal struck by the Obama administration. Pence said Saturday that the U.S. would honor the agreement even if it didn’t agree with it. Under the deal, the U.S. would take up to 1,250 refugees that Australia houses in detention camps on the Pacific island nations of Nauru and Papua New Guinea. Trump’s anger over the agreement led to a tense phone call with Turnbull in January and an angry tweet in which the president called the deal “dumb.”“President Trump has made it clear that we’ll honor the agreement — that doesn’t mean we admire the agreement,” Pence said during a joint news conference with Turnbull. American towns and cities are going to get illegal aliens (mostly Muslim men) who failed to be approved for asylum in Australia.
