Donald Trump has defended a teenager who shot and killed two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Kenosha has been the site of protests against police brutality and racism since 29-year-old black man Jacob Blake was shot seven times by police, leaving him paralysed.

Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old Trump supporter, was charged with fatally shooting two people on the third night of protests in the city.

Responding to the incident, Trump claimed Rittenhouse was "trying to get away" from the protesters, and that he would have been killed had he not opened fire.

Cal Thomas and Marion McKeone discussed this story and more in our weekly US slot.
