Donald Trump's visit to a World War One cemetery was called off by the White House because of poor weather.

The US leader was set to visit the Aisne-Marne American cemetery in the French village of Belleau - the site of a 1918 battle in which the American and French repelled German forces. More than 1,800 Americans died there.
