Why is Donald Trump taking aim at the NFL and it's players?

27/09/2017

Every Wednesday night after the 11pm news, Mitch Harris talks with Paul Buchanan of 36th Parallel live from the US on the latest American news.

On the agenda tonight:
- US President Donald Trump thinks NFL players are disrespecting the US national anthem and the flag by 'taking a knee' to protest - why can't he see it's a race issue?
- President Trump is under fire for his response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico - is it because the majority of people there are Hispanic? Why has his response been so slow compared to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma?
- The war of words between Trump and Kim Jong Un escalates - are we getting close to one side starting World War 3?
