Donald Trump supporters celebrate at Great American Inaugural Ball

Hundreds of Donald Trump supporters have celebrated inauguration day with a glitzy ball in Washington DC. The Great American Inaugural Ball was sponsored by groups such as Bikers for Trump and Citizens for Trump, and was billed as a celebration of Trumps victory and the American armed forces. Actor and former model Antonio Sabato Jr hosted the opening ceremony. He had previously spoken in favour of Trump at the 2016 Republican convention, and caused controversy after he told ABC News that he believes Barack Obama is a Muslim. The ball also raised money for a number of charities, including the USO. Jan 21, 2017

Outgoing President Barack Obama says contructive US-Russia relations are in the worlds interest

President Barack Obama said on Wednesday 19 December it is in the worlds interest for the United States and Russia to have a constructive relationship, but Russias return to an adversarial spirit under President Vladimir Putin made that difficult. I think that it is in Americas interest, in the worlds interest, that we have a constructive relationship with Russia, Obama said in a news conference on Wednesday (January 18) two days before handing over the presidency to Donald Trump. Obama also stressed sanctions on Russia were because of encroachments on Ukraines sovereignty and independence. Jan 19, 2017
