Mr President, really, we are talking about a man who poses a major threat to the security of not just our nation but, indeed, the world—the planet. This is a man who is goading the North Koreans into a nuclear conflict. This is a man who just recently was congratulating Mr Duterte, the leader of the Philippines, a man who has been involved with extrajudicial killings. Approximately 12,000 people are now dead in the drug wars in the Philippines. People have been killed without trial. We are seeing police involved. In fact, Mr Duterte himself was bragging about stabbing a man as a young person. Out here is the President of the US congratulating him, lauding him for his policies. I think to call him belligerent, narcissistic, petulant, misogynistic and racist is bang on the money.

Question negatived.
