On Monday evening, Donald Trump spoke to BBC News in an exclusive telephone interview, answering questions on Vladimir Putin, Nato, and his reflections on the 2024 attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The BBC’s Chief North America Correspondent Gary O’Donoghue says Trump was in a reflective mood, even sounding vulnerable when discussing the assassination attempt.
O’Donoghue explains how the interview came together, and what it was like to speak exclusively to the US president.
