President Trump mourned the victims of the tragic shootings at Brown University and Bondi Beach in Australia — as well as the killing of three US soldiers in Syria — during a Christmas event Sunday.
“I want to just pay my respects to the people, unfortunately, two are no longer with us, Brown University, nine injured, and two are looking down on us right now from Heaven,” Trump said in the Cross Hall of the White House.
“And likewise, in Australia, that was a terrible attack. 11 dead, 29 badly wounded, and that was an anti-Semitic attack, obviously. And I just want to pay my respects to everybody.”
“It was a rough day.”
Speaking about the ISIS ambush attack that killed three US service members in Syria, Trump stressed that the country’s leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, “fought by our side.”
“I can tell you, in Syria, there will be a lot of damage done to the people that did it,” he said. “But there’ll be big damage done.”
