		</div><p>US President Donald Trump has mounted a vigorous defence of his presidency and accused America&#8217;s news media of being &#8220;out of control&#8221;.</p>
<p>At a White House news conference today, he vowed to bypass the media and take his message &#8220;straight to the people&#8221;.</p>
<p>Nearly a month into his presidency, Mr Trump said his new administration had made &#8220;significant progress&#8221; and took credit for an optimistic business climate and a rising stock market.</p>
<p>He pushed back against widespread reports of a chaotic start to his administration marked by a contentious executive order &#8211; now tied up in a legal fight &#8211; to place a ban on travellers from seven predominantly Muslim nations.</p>
<p>&#8220;This administration is running like a fine-tuned machine,&#8221; Mr Trump declared. The president said that he would announce a &#8220;new and very comprehensive order to protect our people&#8221;.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;We&#8217;re issuing a new executive action next week that will comprehensively protect our country&#8230;That will be done sometime next week, toward the beginning or middle at the latest part.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the president announced that Alexander Acosta, dean of the Florida International University law school, would be his nominee for Labour secretary.</p>
<p>That came a day after fast-food executive Andrew Puzder withdrew after losing support among Republican senators.</p>
<p>If confirmed, Mr Acosta would be the first Hispanic member of Mr Trump&#8217;s Cabinet.<br />
Mr Trump opened a hastily arranged news conference to attack coverage by the news media. He accused reporters of not telling the truth and only serving special interests.</p>
<p>&#8220;The press has become so dishonest that if we don&#8217;t talk about it, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people,&#8221; Mr Trump said.</p>

<p>As for his inner circle, Mr Trump is also expected to soon name a new national security adviser following this week&#8217;s ousting of Michael Flynn, who the White House said had misled Vice President Mike Pence about Mr Flynn&#8217;s contacts with Russia.</p>
<p>Mr Trump is said to favour Vice Admiral Robert Harward, a former Navy SEAL, according to a White House official.</p>
<p><a href="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/IMG_0863.jpg"><img src="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/IMG_0863-1024x371.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="232" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-107183" /></a></p>
<p>Mr Harward met with top White House officials last week and has the backing of Defence Secretary Jim Mattis.</p>
<p>Earlier in the day, Mr Trump had a breakfast meeting with some of his staunchest House supporters.</p>
<p>The White House has said Mr Trump asked for Mr Flynn&#8217;s resignation because he had misled Vice President Mike Pence over his dealings with Russia and whether he had discussed sanctions with Russia&#8217;s ambassador to the US before Mr Trump&#8217;s January 20 inauguration. Mr Flynn previously had denied those conversations to Mr Pence and other top officials.</p>
<p>On Thursday, he warned in a pair of tweets that &#8220;low-life leakers&#8221; of classified information will be caught.</p>
<p>As journalists were being escorted out of the breakfast meeting, Mr Trump responded to a reporter&#8217;s question on the subject by saying: &#8220;We&#8217;re going to find the leakers&#8221; and &#8220;they&#8217;re going to pay a big price&#8221;.</p>
