Nobody should ‘underestimate' Melania's influence on Trump's decision-making
This comes as US President Donald Trump hand-delivered to Russian leader Vladimir Putin a private letter from his wife, Melania Trump, about the plight of children in Ukraine and Russia during their peace summit in Alaska.
'No-one should underestimate the power that she has on his decision-making,' Mr Spicer told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
'President Trump's display of that letter should speak volumes to what he was trying to convey to Vladimir Putin.'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu interview: Anthony Albanese ‘forever tarnished' by Palestine pledge
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has doubled down on his criticism of Anthony Albanese, saying his 'record is forever tarnished by the weakness' he showed 'in the face of 'Hamas terrorist mentors'. It comes after Australia's peak Jewish organisation wrote to both men calling for an end to public posturing. In an exclusive interview with Sky News' Sharri Markson, Mr Netanyahu said the Australian leader's record was tarnished by weakness. It comes after he wrote to Mr Albanese earlier in the month lambasting Australia's decision to recognise Palestinian statehood, and personally attacked the Prime Minister in scathing social media posts The Israeli leader has made similar attacks on leaders of other countries who have also shifted their stance on recognising Palestine in recent months. 'I'm sure he has a reputable record as a public servant, but I think his record is forever tarnished by the weakness that he showed in the face of these Hamas terrorist monsters,' Mr Netanyahu said when asked why he believed history would remember Mr Albanese as a weak politician. 'When the worst terrorist organisation on earth – these savages who murdered women, raped them, beheaded men, burnt babies alive in front of their parents, took hundreds of hostages – when these people congratulate the Prime Minister of Australia, you know something is wrong.' The news broadcaster, due to air the full interview on Thursday night, has only published a small excerpt of its interview with Mr Netanyahu so far. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry published letters it sent to Mr Albanese and Mr Netanyahu on Wednesday calling for them to end their public spat and warning it put the nation's Jewish people at risk by pouring fuel on an anti-Semitic fire.

Vladimir Putin ‘weakened' and may not be ‘completely autocratically in charge'
Republican strategist John Jordan claims Russian President Vladimir Putin has to now 'please and be a politician for the first time in many years'. 'I'm not sure at this point that the arrows point towards President Putin being completely autocratically in charge,' he told Sky News Australia. 'He may be now weakened where he is in a position where he has to keep a lot of people from hardliners happy to business interests. 'I think President Putin is now confronted with a broad range of interests that are willing to kind of push back on him, but they don't all agree with each other, so he has to please and be a politician for the first time in many years.'
