Biden denounces ‘despicable’ German Christmas market attack

US President Joe Biden calls the deadly car-ramming attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, a “despicable and dark event,” adding that Washington was in contact with German officials.

“The United States extends our deepest condolences to the people of Germany grieving the terrible attack,” Biden says in a statement. “No community — and no family — should have to endure such a despicable and dark event, especially just days before a holiday of joy and peace.”
