Trump calls reporter ‘beautiful’ in bizarre White House exchange
Trump's 'awkward' interaction with 'beautiful' reporter
Donald Trump praised Angolan reporter Hariana Verás during a peace signing ceremony at the White House on Friday.
The US president told the reporter: "You are beautiful – and you’re beautiful inside. I wish I had more reporters like you."
The interaction took place during a US-facilitated peace signing between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda.
Trump said that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had advised him not to comment on Verás's appearance due to it being "politically incorrect."
