Fox News was forced to pause its coverage of Donald Trump's speech at the White House today (October 20) after the US president lost it with a cameraman. The world leader had welcomed the Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese to Washington DC, but a technical delay in getting the cameras set up left him grumpy as he asked: "Did you want to move your camera over here or are we going to have- Who are you shooting for?"
The camera, however, continued to malfunction, and the two leaders unexpectedly decided to move from the Oval Office to the dining room - leaving Fox host Harris Faulkner baffled. She said: "I think they're still getting into place here, so we're going to watch as that happens and go back."
When the feed went back to the studio, she was once again interrupted as Trump finally began his speech, forcing the network to cut the segment once again.
More problems emerged when a camera knocked into a mirror at the White House, with Trump cutting off his speech to say: "Ooh, you gotta watch that- Watch that. You're not allowed to break that, that mirror's 400 years old.
"The camera just hit the mirror! I just moved it up here special from the vaults, and the first thing that happens, a camera hits it. Hard to believe, isn't it? Hard to believe, but these are the problems in life."
Fox was initially interrupted for breaking news as the two leaders met outside the White House, with Faulkner cutting off footage of the New York City mayoral race to say: "This is breaking right now. The president greeting the Australian Prime Minister. Gianno, I'll come back to you. Let's watch this live.
"And as the Australian prime minister arrives, I set this up a couple of minutes ago. Rare earth minerals are at the heart of this.
"We have a friendship with Australia. So, the president will greet the Australian Prime Minister and they will sit down. Let's listen. Sometimes you can hear something."
