LIVE: Xi Jinping hosts welcome ceremony for Donald Trump in Beijing In Beijing, he stood next to President Xi Jinping without a single word of criticism. But his visit to China stands out to me as the most telling leg of this trip. It was the one place where things went a little differently for Mr Trump. Yes, there was an extraordinary welcome laid on for him, and pomp and ceremony that rivalled - even outdid - anywhere else. But it was not President Xi with gushing compliments about his guest, but the other way around. Mr Trump played a video of his granddaughter singing in Mandarin, he called Xi Jinping "a very special man" and told the Chinese president his "people were very proud of him". There was little in the way of personal praise that came back though. In Beijing, there was no chance of Donald Trump being called the "Leader of the World".

Critics of Donald Trump have been calling for his impeachment since he became the US president ten months ago. Now, some say, a step has been taken in that direction.
A half-dozen Democrats on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, accusing him of obstruction of justice and other offenses, in a long-shot effort that stands little chance in the Republican-led House.

US President Donald Trump gave a bullish Thanksgiving address to troops overseas yesterday, hailing progress in Afghanistan and against Isil, and telling them they were fighting for "something real", including a stock market at record highs and his promised "big, beautiful fat tax cuts". Speaking in a live video teleconference from Palm Beach, Florida, with military personnel serving in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere, Mr Trump said they were "very, very special people." He called troops in Afghanistan "brave, incredible fighters" who had "turned it around" in the past three to four months. "We opened it up; we said go ahead, we're going to fight to win," he said. "We're not fighting any more to just walk around, we are fighting to win." Mr Trump said the Marines were inflicting "defeat after defeat" on Isil, and again credited his change of approach compared to that of the Obama administration. "They weren't letting you win before; they were letting you break even... They weren't letting you win," he said.

President Trump says that Time magazine was contemplating naming him the "Person of the Year" for a second year in a row but that he pulled himself out of the running because he didn't want to participate in an interview and photo shoot. "Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named 'Man (Person) of the Year,' like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot," Trump tweeted on Friday evening. "I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!" Richard Stengel, a former Time editor, responded by tweeting: "Hate to tell you but that PROBABLY means you’re NOT Person of the Year. They just wanted a photo shoot. But I’m sure you still have that fake TIME cover somewhere in storage." Later Friday evening, Time disputed the president's claim, tweeting that he “is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year.” The magazine said it doesn’t comment on its choice until publication, the Associated Press reported.
