We were initially told by Trump's people that he would stick with it.
He obviously didn't like the deal.
and he would stick with it.
Then just before I was due to have a call with him, his national security advisor rang mine, Mike Pence rang my deputy, Julie Bishop, and said, the PM must not mention that this is not going to happen.
President's not going to do it.
So naturally, I had to raise it with him.
And we had a big argument about it, which got very, very heated, really heated.
I was saying, essentially, we expect the United States to stick to its word.
You know, this is, I said, you're like a new CEO.
You know, you've taken over a company, you've inherited a contract you don't like.
You can criticise it, you can say your predecessor was an idiot, but you've still got to stick with it.
You know, take a write down if you like, but you've got to stick with it.
Anyway, it was a very rowdy call and he was furious.
He ended up
saying, you know, that it was the worst call he had had all day.
It was even worse than talking to Putin, although he is very fond of Putin.
So maybe it's Lucy.
Lucy tried to console me later and said, that's really just like him saying your second best boyfriend.
But anyway, it was a big row.
But the good thing about it was that he stuck to the deal.
