The widow of a dead US soldier says Donald Trump could not remember her husband's name when he phoned to offer condolences.
Myeshia Johnson, widow of Sgt La David Johnson, told ABC News the president's "stumbling" had "hurt her the most".

Sgt Johnson was killed in Niger by Islamist militants this month.
