US President Donald Trump laments today’s ramming-shooting attack targeting Temple Israel outside of Detroit.
“I want to send our love to the Michigan Jewish community and all of the people in the Detroit area following the attack on the Jewish synagogue early today,” Trump says in the opening of his remarks at a White House event.
“I’ve been fully briefed, and it’s a terrible thing, but it goes on,” Trump says.
“We’re going to be right down to the bottom of it,” he continues. “It’s absolutely incredible that things like this happen.”
He subsequently gives a brief update on the war with Iran, reiterating that it is going “very well” and “moving along very rapidly.”
