DAYS before returning home from a whirlwind trip to Asia Donald Trump has gone back on the defensive over Russian election meddling and taunted the leader of North Korea.

The US President said he considers President Vladimir Putin's denials sincere, dismissed former US intelligence officials as "political hacks" and accused Democrats of trying to sabotage relations between the two countries.
