Ninety-nine days into office President Donald Trump rallied his "friends" from the National Rifle Association on Friday, telling the hugely powerful US gun lobby the "assault" on their right to bear arms is over.

"You have a true friend and champion in the White House," he told a cheering crowd in Atlanta, Georgia at the annual convention of the NRA, which pumped cash into his maverick election campaign in 2016.

"I will never, ever infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms," Trump vowed.
