Refugee groups call for greater clarification on Australia-US resettlement deal as officials say it will go ahead under Trump administration

U-S President Donald Trump is understood to have told Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull the refugee deal between the two countries will stand under his presidency. Mr Turnbull has held a 25-minute phone call with Mr Trump, their first conversation since the U-S president's inauguration. The decision comes just days after Mr Trump's decision to put a four-month ban on Syrian refugees entering the U-S.
