Trump takes questions from reporters at the White House before abruptly ending the press conference after a clash with reporters on Monday.

A prestigious medical journal has spoken out against President Donald Trump and is urging American voters not to re-elect him in the fall.

The Lancet medical journal recently published a scathing, unsigned editorial pleading with U.S. voters to choose a president that will "understand that public health should not be guided by partisan politics," and slammed Trump for his "inconsistent and incoherent" response to the coronavirus pandemic.
