President Donald Trump on Thursday refuted a story that claimed, citing anonymous sources, that he had spoken disparagingly about fallen U.S. military personnel and canceled a visit to an American cemetery during a trip to France because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead.

The president denied the report calling it a “disgrace” and “fake news.”
