WEST PALM BEACH, United States — U.S. President Donald Trump decried Wednesday's shooting of two National Guard soldiers blocks from the White House as an "act of terror" and said the perpetrator was a migrant from Afghanistan.
"This heinous assault was an act of evil, an act of hatred and an act of terror," Trump said, as he vowed to have his administration "reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan" during his predecessor Joe Biden's presidency.
