Elsewhere, the US president has suffered at least a temporary Supreme Court blow in his attempts to fire a Federal Reserve governor.
The court will look into the case of Lisa Cook but not until January with verdict unlikely before June of next year. But it has declined Mr Trump’s demand she be relieved of her role while the case takes place. Ms Cook can keep her job denying Mr Trump the ability to install a new governor more likely to do his bidding.
