		</div><p>Donald Trump has denounced recent threats against Jewish community centres in the US as &#8220;horrible&#8221; and &#8220;painful&#8221;.</p>
<p>The US president said the threats are a &#8220;very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil&#8221;.</p>
<p>He was speaking after touring the newly opened National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington.</p>
<p>&#8220;This tour was a meaningful reminder of why we have to fight bigotry, intolerance and hatred in all of its very ugly forms,&#8221; Mr Trump said.</p>
<p>His comments about threats at Jewish community centres across the country marked the first time he had directly addressed a wave of anti-Semitism and followed a more general White House denouncement of &#8220;hatred and hate-motivated violence&#8221;.</p>
<p>That statement earlier on Tuesday did not mention the community centre incidents or Jews.</p>
<p>Mr Trump &#8220;has made it abundantly clear that these actions are unacceptable&#8221;, the statement said.</p>
<p>The FBI said it is joining the Justice Department&#8217;s Civil Rights Division to investigate &#8220;possible civil rights violations in connection with threats&#8221; to the centres.</p>
<p>On Monday, Mr Trump&#8217;s daughter Ivanka wrote on Twitter: &#8220;We must protect our houses of worship &#038; religious centers,&#8221; and used the hashtag #JCC.</p>
<p>She converted to Judaism ahead of her 2009 marriage to Jared Kushner.</p>
<p>She joined her father at the African American museum tour.<br />
The White House was criticised by Jewish groups last month after issuing an International Holocaust Remembrance Day statement that did not mention Jews.</p>
<p>On Monday, 11 Jewish community centres across the country received phoned-in bomb threats, according to the JCC Association of North America.</p>
<p>Like three waves of similar calls in January, the threats proved to be hoaxes, the association said in a statement.</p>
<p>All of the affected centres have returned to normal operations.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said: &#8220;The anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and community centres are horrible and are painful and a very sad remainder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil.&#8221;</p>
