'You're Confessing to Incompetence': People Blast Donald Trump for Creating Drama With Australia Over Refugee Relocation Agreement

The president admitted he was unfamiliar with the "deal" until his conversation with the prime minister.

In addition to the immigration and refugee ban ordered by the president, Trump recently bashed a refugee resettlement deal with Australia made by the Obama administration. 

The agreement called for 1,000 displaced refugees to be relocated to the United States. Because Australia is a close ally to the U.S., this deal is not surprising to many. However, for Donald Trump, the resettlement plan was the “worst deal ever” and led to a hasty phone call between the two world leaders, according to the Washington Post.

  • President Trump then sent a late night tweet blasting the deal

  • Many cannot believe that the president did not study the deal before this moment

  • Additionally, many fear the president is burning a crucial bridge with our nation's ally
