Trump hosts North Korean defectors in Oval Office

US President Donald Trump welcomed six North Korean defectors to the Oval Office today, a high profile and potentially provocative show of support.

The group - whose stories Trump described as "incredible and truly inspirational" - included a banker with knowledge of the regime's overseas operations, a former political prisoner and amputee Ji Seong-ho.

Seong-ho escaped from North Korea in 2006 and was given a place of honour just seats away from First Lady Melania Trump at Tuesday's State of the Union address.
