Donald Trump hails America’s war heroes as cloud of controversy hangs over White House
Donald Trump used America’s Memorial Day to momentarily remove himself from the controversy surrounding his administration over alleged links to Russia – visiting Arlington National Cemetery and honouring those who had died in war. It was Mr Trump’s first Memorial holiday as President, and at Arlington he laid a wreath and paid special tribute to Robert Kelly, the son of his Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly. “I especially want to extend our gratitude to General Kelly for joining us today – an incredible man – I always call him general,” said Mr Trump.
