President Trump has claimed the US is in “deep discussions” with Russia and Ukraine – adding “it’s going well”. Not going so well is the outcry over the leak of a secret US government chat group discussing air strikes on Yemen.
Leading Democrats called it “sloppy, careless and incompetent. But in the US Senate the CIA chief denied that the incident was a “huge mistake”.
Mr Trump insisted that no classified material was shared in the chat, which inadvertently included the journalist Jeffrey Goldberg. A claim which Mr Goldberg said was flat-out wrong.
