So, after sending out his running mate to double down on his remarks about Putin, on Thursday night Trump did an interview with the state-funded Russian TV network RT.

Critics of the network, which mostly targets audiences outside of Russian Federation and also includes programming in Spanish, Hindi and Arabic, have described it as a propaganda arm of Putin’s government.

In a sit-down with CNN’s Dana Bash at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the GOP vice presidential nominee said Donald Trump was speaking “boldly” as did the 40th president of the United States.

Pence also defended Trump’s comments that “the generals have been reduced to rubble” under the Obama administration, responding to critics that interpreted those words to mean Trump was putting down the USA military.

Trump’s campaign dismissed Clinton’s ISIS comments as “unhinged and dishonest attacks”.

Donald Trump has said the 2016 general elections is the last chance for the Republican party to win presidential elections because undocumented migrants “legalised” under a Hillary Clinton presidency will give Democrats an electoral advantage in future elections.

“Mr. Trump recorded a short interview with Larry King for his podcast as a favor to Mr. King”, Conway said. He said he disagreed with the USA decision to invade Iraq in 2003 and that Obama botched the withdrawal. “It’s a war we shouldn’t have been in, number one”, Trump said, “and it’s a war that when we got out, we got out the wrong way”. “And it’s a war that, when we got out, we got out the wrong way”.

Mr Trump has faced a backlash since praising Russian President Vladimir Putin at a Wednesday night forum. Asked by King if he agreed with Putin’s assessment, Trump declined to pass judgment.

Clinton, the former secretary of State under President Obama, released a detailed statement on Friday, calling the action by North Korea “outrageous and unacceptable”.

Clinton called the North Korea test “outrageous and unacceptable”, saying she supports imposing additional USA and United Nations sanctions.

“We’re living in challenging times and that certainly was reinforced by the excellent discussion we had today”, she said after meeting with a bipartisan group of national security experts. We did not lose the connection, so something happened there.

The Democratic presidential nominee spelled out her security plans, including how she would bolster defenses against domestic terror attacks, before she turned to attacking her GOP rival in an appearance before reporters in NY.

During a televised forum Wednesday on national security, Trump complimented Putin for having “great control over his country”.

Centrist reviewers said the ad broke through by grabbing their attention, for its relevance and because it drove them to learn more about the candidate.

Another claim that Trump has made about 9/11, specifically that he saw television reports of people celebrating the attacks in New Jersey, has been discredited.
