President Donald Trump on Sunday addressed the nation regarding two recent violent incidents, one at Brown University in the United States and another in Australia.
He offered condolences to the victims and their families and called the attacks horrific during public remarks from the White House.
Officials said the Brown University incident resulted in multiple casualties. Local law enforcement and federal authorities opened investigations, while university officials coordinated with emergency personnel and provided updates to students, faculty, and staff. Australian authorities secured the affected area and began investigating the motives behind the overseas incident.
Trump expressed sympathy for victims in both locations and commended law enforcement and emergency responders for their actions. He emphasized U.S. support for communities affected by the attacks.
Trump said his administration would continue pushing for health care legislation aligned with his campaign promises. He met with congressional leaders and advisers to discuss possible paths forward, as Congress prepared for hearings, briefings, and closed-door sessions on the issue.
