By Jordain Carney - 02/02/17 11:19 AM EST
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Thursday that he spoke to the Australian ambassador to express support for the countries' relationship after a heated call from President Trump.
"I called Australia’s Ambassador to the United States this morning to express my unwavering support for the U.S.-Australia alliance," the Arizona Republican, who's frequently criticized Trump, said in a statement.
McCain's call comes one day after a report in The Washington Post that Trump lashed out at Australia's prime minister during a call.
