Doug Stanglin and John Fritze and Dianna M. Náñez USA TODAY Published 7:57 PM EST Nov 17, 2018 PARADISE, Calif. — Against a smoky, hazy backdrop Saturday, President Donald Trump visited this burned-out retirement community, which was hardest hit in the deadliest U.S. wildfire in a century. Trump, wearing a windbreaker and a black cap emblazoned with "USA," surveyed a scene of burned-out cars and the remains of houses incinerated in the Camp Fire, which has left at least 71 people dead. At one point, the presidential motorcade pulled into a mobile home and RV park, stopping in front of an American flag hanging from what was left of a burned structure. “Right now, we want to take care of the people who have been so badly hurt,” the president said. “This is very sad to see. As far as the lives are concerned, nobody knows quite yet.” ► Nov. 17: Dog found 'protecting the only house left … [Read more...] about California wildfires: Donald Trump visits Paradise, areas hit by fire

Brexit Crisis: Will Theresa May Still Be Prime Minister When Donald Trump Visits?
World Theresa May Brexit The political chaos of Brexit is threatening to bring down British Prime Minister Theresa May, a matter of days before she is due to host President Donald Trump on his controversial first visit to the U.K. The sudden resignation of Brexit Minister David Davis over May’s roadmap for leaving the European Union left the prime minister facing attacks from both inside and outside her Conservative Party. Trump's visit already threatens to embarrass May as Trump is kept away from massive protests, forcing the president to spend most of his time outside London. But with the latest cabinet emergency, it is possible May will not even be prime minister when the unpopular president arrives. The resignation of the Brexit minister threatens to open a chasm in May’s Conservative—or Tory—government, with moderates calling for a “soft” Brexit on one side and extremists lobbying for a “hard” Brexit on the other.

Donald Trump’s visit puts Britain’s Brexit dependence on show
By Guy Faulconbridge and William James LONDON (Reuters) - When Donald Trump visits Britain next week, Prime Minister Theresa May will have to face a harsh reality: Brexit makes Britain more dependent than ever on an alliance with the most unpredictable U.S. president in living memory. Sandwiched between a NATO meeting and a summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin, Trump's first visit to Britain as president comes at one of the most important junctures for Europe and the West since the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union. From challenging Western assumptions about the EU and free trade to courting the Kremlin and North Korea's leader, Trump has delivered on his promise of an "unpredictable" U.S. foreign policy. That leaves May, who held hands with Trump at the White House during her visit after his inauguration, in a difficult position as she seeks closer trade ties with the United States to offset the disruption of leaving the EU on March 29, 2019.(For a graphic of trips by UK and US leaders … [Read more...] about Donald Trump’s visit puts Britain’s Brexit dependence on show

Last Updated Aug 19, 2016 1:04 PM EDT As news broke that Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, had resigned from the campaign, Trump and his running mate Mike Pence toured some of the areas damaged by recent floods in Louisiana. In East Baton Rouge Parish, Friday, Trump’s motorcade drove through hard-hit communities, where ripped up carpet and flooring, furniture and the entire contents of homes were piled on the curb. People who were still mucking out their homes, in some instances, came out to wave at the motorcade with gloved hands dirty from their house-gutting work. He and Pence then met a group of volunteers at a Baptist church who have been cooking meals for flood victims and helping the elderly gut their homes.A torrent of about two feet of rain inundated the southern part of the state, devastating areas hit hard by Hurricane Katrina over a decade ago. Tens of thousands of Louisiana residents have been displaced by the flooding, and at … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo Donald Trump visits flood-ravaged Louisiana
