US President Donald Trump has made his clearest commitment not to fire anyone over the embarrassing leak of his administration’s plans for an airstrike against the Houthis in Yemen.

“I don’t fire people because of fake news and because of witch hunts,” Mr Trump said in an interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker on Saturday.
