US President Donald Trump lashed out at the news media Sunday following reports of crowded and unsanitary conditions at U.S. Border Patrol stations that have heightened debate about U.S. immigration policy, a trademark issue in his 2020 reelection campaign. Speaking on the tarmac before boarding Air Force One on Sunday, Trump called a New York Times report "a fabrication." "And in all cases, if you look, people that came from unbelievable poverty - they had no water, they had no anything where they came from - those are people that are very happy with what's going on because, relatively speaking, they're in much better shape right now," he said. Brushing aside a Supreme Court ruling against him, Trump said he is ordering that a citizenship question be included in the 2020 US census, saying there are a number of possibilities for circumventing last week's supreme court ruling. "We could do a memorandum, we could do an executive order, we're looking at different things, but there are alternatives," he said. And as Iran says it plans to exceed uranium enrichment limits imposed in the 2015 nuclear deal, Trump told reports that Iran "better be careful. Trump also responded to news of a leaked diplomatic memo where Britain's ambassador to the United States, Kim Darroch, described the Trump Administration in unflattering terms. "I would say that the UK and the ambassador has not served the UK well. I can tell you that. We're not big fans of that man," said Trump. He also congratulated the US women's soccer team on their victory at the Women's World Cup, calling it "an incredible achievement."
