Donald Trump still has not earned the right to address the Houses of Parliament, Commons Speaker John Bercow has said. A year on from Mr Trump's election victory Mr Bercow said his view remained that Mr Trump did not deserve the honour of speaking to MPs and peers in the historic hall. The row began in February when Mr Bercow said he "strongly opposed" the idea of a presidential address in Parliament. But he said he had been reacting to suggestions which "seemed to be emanating from government" that Mr Trump should follow in Mr Obama's footsteps and speak in Westminster Hall. Defending his intervention, Mr Bercow noted he had been given a say in who should be invited to speak.
Donald Trump will not meet with Vladimir Putin, White House says
US President Donald Trump will not have a separate meeting with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Vietnam due to scheduling conflicts, the White House said on Friday. Trump and Putin will both attend the APEC summit in the Vietnamese city of Danang. "Regarding a Putin meeting, there was never a meeting confirmed, and there will not be one that takes place due to scheduling conflicts on both sides," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters minutes before landing in Danang. Are they going to bump into each other and say hello? But in terms of a scheduled, formal meeting, there's not one on the calendar and we don't anticipate that there will be one," Sanders saidReuters
Mnuchin says Donald Trump will see tax increase under tax plan
according to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Thursday said President Donald Trump will see a tax increase under the proposed Republican tax plan. "For people who make over $1 million in the high tax states, there will be a tax increase." Mnuchin was speaking at The Economic Club of New York ahead of the unveiling of the Senate GOP tax plan expected later Thursday. Initial analyses of the tax plan suggest that Trump will see his federal tax rate decline if the Republican tax proposal is passed. His total tax rate, however, including state and local taxes, could increase, just as Mnuchin said.Donald Trump says Senate hopeful Roy Moore should step aside if claims of sexual encounter with 14-year-old are true
US President Donald Trump would expect Senate candidate Roy Moore to withdraw from an upcoming vote if allegations that he had a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl were true, the White House said on Friday. Roy Moore, a 70-year-old judge, is hoping to take the seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, the attorney general. Mr Moore was backed by Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump's former chief strategist, and joined on the campaign trail by Nigel Farage. Mr Trump and the Republican establishment preferred his rival, Luther Strange. A defiant Mr Moore emailed his supporters hours after the accusations were made and wrote: "I refuse to stand down."
