US politics live: ‘They are sick’: Trump fury at sinking polls

Donald Trump has lashed out calling for an investigation after a series of polls found his popularity sinking as he reaches 100 days in office.

Welcome to our live coverage of US politics.

A series of polls have come out claiming that Donald Trump’s popularity is sinking as he reaches 100 days in office.

And Mr Trump is not happy labelling the pollsters “sick” and calling for an investigation into “electoral fraud”.

Mr Trump has also commented on the death of Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who was found dead in West Australia on Saturday.

The US is continuing to push for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal, having sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a “very symbolic meeting” meeting at St Peter’s Basilica on the sidelines of Pope Francis’ funeral on Saturday.

Footage of the meeting has since gone viral online, with some pointing out a previously missed detail before Mr Trump was reportedly “snubbed” by French President Emmanuel Macron ahead of the sit-down.

Meanwhile, Greenland’s new Prime Minister has hit back at Mr Trump’s threats to take control of the autonomous Danish territory, stating Greenland will never be a “piece of property” to be bought.
