That’s a wrap. Some highlights: Trump cites “false accusations” against him when talking about his stance on Kavanaugh; says he’d prefer Rosenstein stays on as DAG; knocks Canada in NAFTA negotiations; and insists there’s no timeline on North Korea giving up nukes.

Trump gets another q on Kavanaugh: “nobody knows who to believe ... this could go on forever” for mutliple Supreme Court picks. He concludes presser saying he looks forward to what Ford and Kavanaugh have to say. It will be a “very important day in the history of our country.”

Trump says leaders laughing at UN was “fake news.” He says “people weren’t laughing at me, they were laughing with me... People had a good time with me.”

Trump gets question on whether he made progress on a potential new Iran deal with other leaders. Prez: “doesn’t matter” what other world leaders think. “Iran is going to come back to me and make a ... deal.”

Trump also said he’d like to rename NAFTA the “USMC” — but could be USM (minus Canada.)

Trump said he rejected one-on-one meeting with Canadian PM Trudeau. Says he thinks negotiators are taking advantage of our country. “If Canada doesn’t make a deal, we’ll make a better deal.”

Trump segues to Russia investigation, says mockingly: “‘Let me call up the Russians to help.’ Does anybody really believe that?”

Trump on Kim letter: "It's a beautiful piece of art."

Trump on Rosenstein: "My preference would be to keep him." Trump adds that he might delay the meeting to focus on the Kavanaugh hearings tomorrow.

Trump on calling out China for interference in 2018 midterms: He can't give more information, but that his statement "didn't come out of nowhere." Notes that China has respect for his "very large brain."

"I've been accused ... I believe it was four women," Trump says. President says they were "paid to make up stories about me." He adds: "They made false statements about me knowing they were false."

Q: Are these women (Kavanaugh's accusers) liars? Trump: "I can't tell you, I have to watch tomorrow." On a follow-up, reporter asks if Trump would withdraw the SCOTUS nomination."If i thought [Kavanaugh] was guilty of something like this, yes sure."

Reporter asks if Trump understands why accusers didn't report alleged sexual assault allegation at the time. "I only say this: 36 years, no charge, no nothing." He added that Avenatti came out with "another beauty" today.

Trump on Kavanaugh: Democrats know it's a "big, fat con job." Trump says it wouldn't matter if the FBI came back and said Kavanaugh is "perfectly innocent of everything, it wouldn't have made a difference."

David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Programme: "Yemen is undeniably the world's worst humanitarian crisis." He added that famine-like crisis is "knocking at the door," with 17.8 million people who require food assistance.
