President Donald Trump held a joint press conference with the emir of Kuwait on Thursday during a White House visit.

He addressed escalating tensions with North Korea, the so-called Islamic State terror group and Middle East tensions.

The event came as Trump contends with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, the potential destruction of Hurricane Irma, and reported tension with other Republicans over his dealings with Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.
