The Republican candidate was slammed for insensitivity after posing for a picture at the Arlington National Cemetery.

Mr Trump was in Virginia to lay a wreath to commemorate the third anniversary of 13 American soldiers being killed during the chaotic withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in 2021.

The former president had signed an operation to return US soldiers to the States before Joe Biden moved into the White House.
