Stephen Bannon, chief strategist to President Donald Trump, has said that his election victory has ushered in a "new political order".

He vowed at a conservative conference to bring together those of "wide and sometimes divergent opinions" in support of "economic nationalism".

"We are a nation with a culture and a reason for being," the normally behind-the-scenes adviser told the audience.

He said the president was "maniacally focused" on pursuing his agenda.
