HOLLYWOOD, United States: US President Donald Trump aimed to make inroads on Sunday in the politically important Jewish-American vote with a Florida speech where he declared himself the best friend Israel has ever had. At a conference in Hollywood, Florida, the Republican real estate magnate said Jewish-Americans had been wrong to vote for Democrats under his predecessor Barack Obama. "So many of you voted for people in the last administration," he said. "Someday you’ll have to explain that to me because I don’t think they liked Israel too much."
