USA: Trump's new spokeswoman ends first appearance after a few minutes

Katie Zacharia, the new White House spokesperson, ended her first press conference after less than 15 minutes. She allowed only three questioners, citing US President Donald Trump's trip to Alaska. Zacharia stated she wants to bring "new media" into the White House, and as an example, gave precedence to right-wing media such as Breitbart.

She appeared nervous during her first appearance, reading from a script and stumbling over her words. Zacharia was appointed by Trump a few days ago to succeed Karoline Leavitt, who stepped down at the end of August.
