Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump met in the first face off on Monday in Hofstra University in New York in a fiery US presidential debate.

The debate, the first of three debates leading up to the election on the eighth of November, tackled how to improve the US economy as well as the US intervention abroad and the fight against terrorism, in addition to issues of migrants, minorities and racial discrimination.

Trump said Clinton lacked “stamina” needed to take over the presidency and that she has caused “chaos” in the Middle East, adding that the United States cannot be “the world’s policeman,” or protect all its allies without being paid for that.

Clinton, in turn, expressed that Trump built his political career on the “racist lie” when he questioned the birth place of President Barack Obama and his right to assume the presidency.
