Trump is now "open" to an increase in the national minimum wage. He says that his tax plan is just a bargaining position. Now, Trump says that the temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S. was just a "suggestion."

That is a lot of back peddling since the suspension of Cruz's campaign made Trump the presumptive GOP nominee. I wonder what the second week of Trump's general campaign will bring.

Mr Trump now calls the Muslim ban "a suggestion"

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appears to have softened his stance on temporarily barring Muslims from travelling to the US.

Responding to remarks by new London Mayor Sadiq Khan, Mr Trump told Fox News the ban was "just a suggestion".

Mr Khan has expressed concern that he would not be able to travel to the US under a Trump administration because of his Muslim faith.

Mr Trump had offered to make an "exception" for Mr Khan.

Mr Khan refused Mr Trump's offer, saying the New York businessman's views were "ignorant" and would make the UK and the US "less safe".

Mr Trump proposed a ban on Muslims entering the US after attacks in Paris killed 130 people last year.

The suggested ban has been widely criticised in the US and abroad but Mr Trump until now has stood by the proposal, saying it was needed to ensure US security.

"It's a temporary ban. It hasn't been called for yet," Mr Trump said on Wednesday. "This is just a suggestion until we find out what's going on."
