Vice President Mike Pence is in Australia today and will be attending a joint press conference with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull at 9:30pm tonight (U.S Eastern).
PM Turnbull previously began the relationship with the Trump administration poorly by attempting to paint President Trump into a corner on accepting illegal immigrants. The relationship did not get off to a good start. This presser might be interesting.
UPDATE: Video Added. Yes, it was interesting. Toward the end of the presser Pence was asked about the controversial illegal immigrant deal. Pence said POTUS Trump “out of respect, would live up to the deal“, but also added “that doesn’t mean he admires the deal”.
Prime Minister Turnbull sure is a weasely fella. Put Barack Obama and Ted Cruz into a blender, mix them up, reconstitute, and you just about get a Malcolm Turnbull. A Sketchy talker with a creepy deceitful, stab-you-in-the-back kinda vibe…
