Former President Donald Trump strongly criticized President Joe Biden’s administration and condemned the recent attack on two guards at the White House as a severe crime. Trump described the incident as a heinous act of evil, hatred, and terrorism, emphasizing that it was not only an assault on the guards but on the entire nation.
Addressing the nation following the attack on November 26th, Trump expressed solidarity with the injured guards and their families, emphasizing the need for justice for the perpetrator. He identified the suspect as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national brought into the country under the Biden administration’s supervision.
Trump accused the current administration of allowing millions of unidentified foreigners into the country, posing a significant risk to national security. He called for a thorough review of all individuals entering the US from Afghanistan and stressed the importance of removing any unauthorized individuals who do not contribute positively to the nation.
In response to the incident, Trump deployed an additional 500 soldiers to enhance security in the capital and ensure the assailant faces legal consequences. While an Afghan advocacy group expressed sadness over the attack, they urged against unjust treatment of Afghans who resettled in the United States.
The situation remains tense as investigations continue and efforts are made to prevent similar incidents in the future.
