embassy here in canberra confirmed the deal would go ahead, had the confirmation from the state department white house but two hours later the u.s. president is tweeting he will look at this dumb deal and cast doubt on the arrangement. lot of confusion here. prime minister has certainly assured the people here that the deal will go ahead. says he has that assurance from the president himself. but i guess what we're seeing today is lot of chaos coming out of the united states and lot of subsequent uncertainty about the agreement that apparently was made between the two leaders over the weekend and bigger question of course what this means for the alliance. very dependable alliance. australia has been in every war with the united states since the second world war. based on shared values and commonalities and common interests. we have u.s. marines based in northern australia. seems extraordinary that this alliance would be so rocky so early on in the new president's term. makes you wonder how some of those other fragile alliances will go. it's just extraordinary, extraordinary thing to watch.
