Politics continues to dominate the headlines this morning, as American commentators react to incoming president Donald Trump’s choice for health secretary. Robert F. Kennedy Jr, a known vaccine sceptic, has received the nod from the president-elect and it has led to some strong reactions on the front pages. 

Elsewhere, there is also reaction from Trump’s other picks, including the controversial choice of Matt Gaetz for attorney general.

Incoming US President Donald Trump has picked RFK Jr as his health secretary calling him a great mind in his first speech since election night.
