Donald Trump surprised visitors during the official reopening of public tours at the White House.
US President Donald Trump dropped in unannounced on roughly 100 schoolchildren touring the White House on Tuesday, greeting them beneath a picture of his vanquished election rival Hillary Clinton.
As tours restarted at the White House after a brief interval, Trump greeted pupils at the Briarwood Christian School in Birmingham, Alabama.
The location of his surprise greeting was the ground floor center hall beneath a portrait of Clinton - one of a series of paintings of former first ladies.
