President Donald Trump criticized the head of the largest U.S. group of unions on Sept. 3 over comments the AFL–CIO president made in an interview aired on television a day earlier.

AFL–CIO President Richard Trumka told Fox News Sunday on Sept. 2 that Trump’s policies have done more to hurt workers than they have helped.
