U.S. officials said that Trump has behaved similarly in conversations with leaders of other countries, including Mexico. “This is the worst deal ever,” Trump fumed as Turnbull attempted to confirm that the United States would honour its pledge to take in 1,250 refugees from an Australian detention centre. Trump also vented anger and touted his political accomplishments in a tense conversation with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, officials said. But U.S. officials said that Trump continued to fume about the arrangement even after signing the order in a ceremony at the Pentagon. Trump was also skeptical because he did not see a specific advantage the United States would gain by honouring the deal, officials said.
