WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for his government to re-examine Afghan immigrants who entered the United States during the former President Joe Biden's administration.
The president called the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington "an act of terror," saying the suspect came from Afghanistan in 2021.
"This heinous assault was an act of evil, an act of hatred and an act of terror," Trump said in pre-taped remarks from Florida, where he is spending the Thanksgiving holiday.
"We must now re-examine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden."
