"But they're fake news, totally. New York Times is so fake. Washington Post is disgusting. I mean, they're disgusting, I don't get it."

Those comments came a day after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told attendees of a conference for the anti-vaccine group he founded that they have a "friend at the White House."

There was no immediate response from Denmark, which had reacted angrily to repeated suggestions by the president that the US might annex the territory.

President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter Friday for asking if his recent White House ban was an effort to "intimidate the press."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave the keynote address Thursday at a conference of an anti-vaccine activist group he once chaired, telling the hundreds in attendance that they had a friend in President Donald Trump’s White House.

In a brisk Q&A, the new Fed chairman painted a sanguine picture of the economy and hinted more interest-rate increases could be ahead.

He has threatened troop cuts, badgered allies over defense spending, denounced governments for refusing to support the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.

The Federal Reserve unanimously raised interest rates by a quarter point despite repeated calls from President Donald Trump for lower rates.
