President Joe Biden on Wednesday honoured his uncle and his death in World War II and said Donald Trump was unworthy of serving as commander in chief.

While in Pittsburgh, Biden spoke about his uncle, 2nd Lt Ambrose J Finnegan Jr, aiming to draw a contrast with reports that Mr Trump, while president, had called fallen service members “suckers” and “losers”.
