President Donald Trump, who will make a state visit to the United Kingdom next week, is taking heat from comments he made during his recent trip to Japan.

Trump has continued his attacks on Biden, which could be helping the former vice president in his bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. The latest polling shows Biden leading the pack of 20-plus candidates now in the race.
