Donald Trump wants to bring back waterboarding as an interrogation technique

Seven years after the US banned waterboarding as an interrogation technique, Donald Trump admits he would revive its use if he were American president.

“The reason they are not loving me is because I don’t want their money I’m gonna do the right thing for the American public.”
