Trump commented on the high-profile shooting in Minneapolis

US President Donald Trump expressed his bewilderment at the public outcry over the shooting involving a federal agent in Minneapolis and blamed local authorities for security. This was announced on January 24 by Trump himself on the Truth Social network.

The American leader, commenting on the incident, pointed out the circumstances of the incident and asked about the actions of law enforcement agencies on the spot.

"The armed man had a loaded pistol with two additional clips, ready for action. What is it all about? Where were the local police?" he wrote.

Trump also said that local authorities did not provide adequate protection for immigration and customs enforcement officers. According to him, the leadership of the state of Minnesota and the city of Minneapolis is pushing the situation to escalate with their rhetoric.

"Why weren't they allowed to protect ICE officers?" the US president added.

In addition, Trump accused the state authorities of concealing large-scale financial violations, claiming to "cover the theft of billions of dollars from the budget."

The protesters called on residents to give up work, school, and shopping, calling the action a "Day of Truth and Freedom."
