US President Donald Trump is facing a backlash over reports he mocked American soldiers killed in action as "losers" and "suckers".

The alleged remarks were first reported in the Atlantic Magazine and then separately by the Associated Press.

Trump denies making them, while his defence secretary said Trump had the "highest respect" for the military.

Veterans' groups were among those to attack President Trump over the reports.
