Trump secures outright Republican nomination for US presidential election

Donald Trump has reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the nomination as the Republican's candidate to be the next US President.

    A small number of unbound delegates said they would support Trump at the party’s July convention, pushing him over the top of the 1,237-delegate threshold needed to win the Republican nomination for president. The billionaire businessman’s total has reached 1,238, according to media reports.

    On Thursday, US President Barack Obama told a press conference on the sidelines of G7 Summit the proposals that Trump earlier made "display either ignorance of world affairs or a cavalier attitude or an interest in getting tweets and headlines instead of actually thinking through what is required to keep America safe."
