President Donald Trump has dubbed Prime Minister Scott Morrison a “man of titanium” in their first meeting in the president’s Oval Office.

In a reference to George W. Bush’s “man of steel” label for John Howard, the last Australian leader to be honoured with a full state visit to the United States, Trump picked a harder metal.
