Extraordinary moment Trump apologizes to reporter immediately after calling her fake news: ‘No sir’

Donald Trump briefly dismissed a reporter’s question as “fake news”, then apologised after learning she worked for The Daily Wire. He went on to answer her question about claims that French President Emmanuel Macron blamed him for unrest in France, saying Macron was a friend and criticising his approach to immigration.

Trump repeated claims that France should have closed its borders, including remarks that Paris could soon become a “Muslim city”. The protests began a month ago over staff shortages and rising prices, then widened; Macron blamed far-left agitators and criminals for the violence. Nearly 2,400 people were arrested and almost 1,000 police and gendarmes were injured, seven seriously.
