Trump says terrorists 'must be eradicated from the face of the earth' after 12 die and 48 are hurt when lorry ploughs into Berlin market

Donald Trump has vowed to 'eradicate' terrorists from the 'face of the earth' after 12 people were killed at a Berlin Christmas market.

The president-elect said it was a 'horrifying terror attack' and would push the US and its 'freedom-loving partners' to take on ISIS.

His comments were made after a lorry packed with steel ploughed into dozens of shoppers perusing stalls. At least 12 were killed and 50 injured at around 8.30pm local time on Monday,
