GOP presidential hopeful Governor Ron DeSantis has leapt on Donald Trump's recent comments about abortion, arguing that the former president's less-extreme views are out of step with modern-day Republican values.
Mr Trump recently took the position that six-week abortion bans — bans that Mr DeSantis signed into law in Florida — were a "terrible mistake." He told NBC's Meet the Press that he would sit down with people from "both sides" of the abortion debate and negotiate a deal that would leave everyone in "peace" on the long-contested issue.
