Donald Trump has denied making disparaging comments about dead soldiers during his trip to Paris in 2018.

According to a story in The Atlantic, four sources close to the US President claim he cancelled a visit to an American military cemetery outside Paris because he thought the soldiers were "losers" and "suckers", and because he didn't want the rain to mess up his hair.

The story has sparked widespread condemnation, but US veterans and soldiers are divided in their views on what Trump may, or may not, have said.

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