US president Donald Trump has described the London Bridge terror attack as “horrific” and vowed that “this bloodshed must end”. Mr Trump’s remarks, made during a fund-raising event last night at Ford’s Theatre in Washington DC, were his first public comments on the atrocity in which seven people died.
Up until now, the president had expressed his views only on Twitter. Earlier, Mr Trump criticised London’s mayor Sadiq Khan after he sought to reassure people about a stepped-up police presence on city streets.
In a series of tweets, President Trump challenged Mr Khan for saying there was “no reason to be alarmed”.
Mr Trump also repeated calls for his stalled travel ban, took on gun control supporters and pledged that the United States would be there to help London. At the fundraiser Mr Trump said he would do whatever was necessary to protect the United States from a “vile enemy” that had waged war on innocents for too long.
