Trump threat over reporters’ behaviour

Donald Trump has threatened to walk out of future press briefings if reporters do not act with "decorum".

The US president was speaking after a Washington DC court ordered the White House to return CNN reporter Jim Acosta's press pass after it was revoked by the US Secret Service.

Mr Acosta's press pass was taken after he clashed with the president during a news conference earlier this month.

Mr Trump played down the ruling, saying it wasn't "a big deal". But, he said, "people have to behave", adding his staff were "writing up rules and regulations" for the press to abide by, including sticking to the agreed number of questions.

"You can't take three questions and four questions and just stand up and not sit down," he added. "Decorum. You have to practice decorum."
