Transcripts of US President Donald Trump's phone calls to his Mexican and Australian counterparts after taking office reveal he pressured them on immigration issues.
The Washington Post published texts Trump's calls with Mexico's Enrique Pena Nieto and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull just days after taking office on 20 January.
The substance of the calls has previously been reported but the lengthy transcripts reveal Trump, whose first elected office is the presidency, trying to use a mixture of bluster, tough talk and charm as he fully entered the world of diplomacy.
He pressured the Mexican president to stop voicing opposition in public to his plan to have Mexico pay for a border wall, and angrily criticized the Australian prime minister over a deal to take refugees that his own predecessor agreed with the country.
