US President Donald Trump has maintained that both left- and right-wing groups were to blame for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, which left one anti-racist protester dead and 19 others injured.

Trump also insisted that he was not wrong in failing to condemn Nazi and white supremacist groups following the events in Charlottesville, while blaming left-wing supporters for charging at the alt-right.
