IN ATTEMPT TO REVIVE ‘MATESHIP’ WITH U.S ALLY, DONALD TRUMP GREETS AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER…

 President Trump welcomed Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to the White House Friday in an attempt to rebuild a sometimes-strained relationship with a crucial Pacific ally.Image result for MALCOLM TURNBULL
    A lot of good things will come out of this visit,” Trump said, citing work on trade and military cooperation. The two leaders haven't always seen eye-to-eye over the first 13 months of Trump's presidency.

The relationship with have with Australia is a terrific relationship and probably stronger now than ever before, maybe because of our relationship, our friendship," Trump said. We’re working on trade deals, we’re working on military and protection and all of the things that you would think we would be discussing today."

Turnbull lauded 100 years of "mateship" between the two counties dating back to the 1918 Battle of the Hamel, where soldiers from the United States and Australia fought side-by-side in France during World War I.
