President Donald Trump speaks to the media before boarding Air Force One for a trip to Kenosha
US PRESIDENT Donald Trump appeared to legitimise race war after defending a 17-year-old white supremacist who shot dead two men in the Wisconsin town of Kenosha last week.
Mr Trump refused to condemn the killings and claimed that Kyle Rittenhouse had been acting in self-defence after opening fire at protesters, who gathered after police shot unarmed black man Jacob Blake seven times in the back.
“That was an interesting situation,” he said during a Monday press conference.
