Australia Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had a deal with Barack Obama just days after Donald Trump's election. Malcolm Turnbull would send the Trump Administration 1,200 incarcerated refugees  held in offshore detention centers on the Pacific Island nation of Nauru and Papua New Guinea's Manus Island.

Two Washington Post reporters - Greg Miller and Philip Rucker - broke the story that Trump had a blisteringly blunt phone call with the Australian prime minister. Trump told him in no uncertain terms that it was a bad deal.

3AW-2GB radio presenter Michael McLaren goes over the ramifications of the deal's collapse.
