US President Donald Trump marked Christmas Eve by quizzing children who called in about which presents they were excited to receive, while promising not to let a “bad Santa” infiltrate the country and suggesting that a stocking full of coal may not be so bad.
Vacationing at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, the president and First Lady Melania Trump participated in the tradition of talking to youngsters dialling into the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD), which playfully tracks Santa's progress around the globe on Christmas Eve each year.
