"Just getting to know each other and so far so good, I think it's going to be a great relationship," Mr Trump said in the meeting in Buenos Aires on Friday local time.
"I know you've done a fantastic job in a very short period of time.
"You've done a lot of the things that they've wanted over there and that's why you're sitting right here."
Mr Morrison said Australia and the United States "have always been the greatest of friends".
"Not just in various strategic co-operation but economically, and the people-to-people relationships, well, there's none better," he said.
