Top Trump administration officials have reached out to Australia, including a meeting at the White House with the Australian ambassador, after tweets and phone calls by President Trump put the relationship at risk.
At issue is whether the U.S. will accept refugees that Australia is currently housing on Nauru.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer confirmed Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and Senior Advisor Steve Bannon had a meeting, but he's unclear on who Australia's Prime Minister is.
IN: "They did...
OUT: ...as we do."
DUR: 23
Australia's Prime Minister is Malcolm Turnbull (not Trumbull as the White House keeps saying)
