President Trump has said Hillary Clinton “merely showed her anger” at the Munich security conference and called her a “really bad representative” of the US.
Trump also said Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “shouldn’t be talking badly” about the US – but also, presumably, him – on “foreign soil”.

Donald Trump has piled pressure on Ukraine to reach a deal with Russia “fast” before US-brokered talks in Geneva on Tuesday. “Ukraine better come to the table, fast,” the US president told reporters onboard Air Force One while en route to Washington.

John Paulson, a hedge fund billionaire and one of Donald Trump’s earliest Wall Street backers, is planning to move an Ohio manufacturing plant to China despite heavy pushback from employees.
