Donald Trump resolves to protect US and Allies from 'Vile Enemy'

US President, Donald J. Trump

The President of the United States of America, Donald Trump on Sunday night spoke out on the latest London terror attacks, which claimed at least 7 lives and left 48 people wounded.

President Trump vowed to do whatever was needed to protect his country from a "vile enemy."
Appearing with First Lady Melania Trump at a fundraiser for Ford's Theater in Washington, the site of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, Trump commented on the attacks saying: "This bloodshed must end, this bloodshed will end."

"America sends our thoughts and prayers and our deepest sympathies to the victims of this evil slaughter and we renew our resolve, stronger than ever before, to protect the United States and its allies from a vile enemy that has waged war on innocent life, and it's gone on too long," he added.

"As president I will do what is necessary to prevent this threat from spreading to our shores and work every day to protect the safety and security to our country, our communities and our people."

The US president who said he had spoken with British Prime Minister Theresa May to show America's "unwavering support" and offer aid, tweeted a string of comments in the hours after the attack, offering help for the U.K. and criticizing political correctness, among other things

The attacks at London Bridge and nearby Borough Market killed at least 7 people and wounded 48 others Saturday night. Police said they shot and killed the three attackers.


The attack is coming after more than 20 people were killed in the suicide bombing last month at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, Trump condemned the assault as the act of "evil losers" and called on nations to band together to fight terrorism.

We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don't get smart it will only get worse

Trump had criticized London's mayor earlier on Sunday, after he sought to reassure residents about a stepped-up police presence following the attack, the third in the country in past three months, arguing on Twitter for leaders to "stop being politically correct" and focus on "security for our people."
