Trump on Brexit story 'fake news'

Donald Trump says a story in the Sun newspaper about his criticism of Theresa May's Brexit plans was "generally fine" - but it missed out his positive comments about the prime minister.

He added that the White House records all interviews.

"It's called fake news and we solve a lot of problems with the good old recording instrument," the president said.

Mr Trump also said he had "a lot of respect" for Mrs May.

Later in the news conference he rowed back on the claim The Sun story was fake news.
