President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of 500 additional National Guard members to Washington, D.C., following a shooting incident that he described as an ‘act of terror’ and a ‘crime against humanity.’ The incident, which occurred in a cordoned-off area near the White House, has raised concerns about public safety and security in the nation’s capital. Trump emphasized the need for heightened security measures, calling the suspect, an Afghan national, an ‘animal’ and expressing his condemnation of the attack.
The shooting has prompted an increase in security presence across the city, with federal agencies working alongside local law enforcement to investigate the incident. Trump’s administration has also announced plans to review and potentially expand security protocols in high-profile areas of the country. The president’s comments, which included strong language, reflect his administration’s focus on addressing domestic threats and reinforcing a sense of national security among the American public.
