Officials at the White House, led by President Donald Trump, are strongly condemning the attacks on two New Zealand mosques overnight. Forty-nine people were killed.
My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques. 49 innocent people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured. The U.S. stands by New Zealand for anything we can do. God bless all!
