US offers help to Spain in wake of Barcelona attack
The United States offers its assistance to Spain in the wake of a deadly van attack in Barcelona’s most popular street Las Ramblas.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says consular assistance was being provided to Americans in the city, and urged US nationals to check in with their families.
“Terrorists around the world should know — the United States and our allies are resolved to find you and bring you to justice,” Tillerson tells a press conference with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and their Japanese counterparts.
