European Commission president-elect Ursula von der Leyen said she was “very relieved” after securing Europe’s top job by the tightest of margins — but denied her slender victory would lead to more political turmoil. MEPs endorsed her by only 9 votes above the minimum on Tuesday after a controversial and much-criticised nomination process. But the first woman to hold Europe’s top job told Euronews' Darren McCaffrey that she was simply pleased to win after having only two weeks to convince MEPs...

Some Republicans who typically keep tight-lipped about President Donald Trump's tweeter habits spoke out on Monday about his incendiary comments attacking four Democratic congresswomen, saying he crossed a line. "There is no excuse for the president's spiteful comments — they were absolutely unacceptable and this needs to stop," Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, tweeted. Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio also offered a tough but terse statement. "That's not something I would say, and I think it's divisive, unnecessary and wrong," Portman said. Trump had...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrats in the U.S. Congress moved on Monday to formally censure President Donald Trump’s attacks on four minority congresswomen as House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said her party would introduce a resolution condemning his “xenophobic tweets.” The move could put Trump’s fellow Republicans in an awkward position, forcing them either to vote against their leader, who has strong support among conservative voters, or effectively defend his statements, widely described as racist. “Our Republican colleagues must...

The letter was sent after Trump on Sunday wrote on Twitter that four first-term congresswomen, who are minorities,...

Trump did not mention...
