Donald Trump, presidente de Estados Unidos, caminó el lunes desde la Casa Blanca hasta la Iglesia Episcopal de Saint John, que hace unas horas resultó dañado por un incendio registrado durante una histórica manifestación contra el racismo que adelantaron cientos de personas en las últimas horas.
Al finalizar una declaración en los jardines de la Casa Blanca, el mandatario anunció que iría a un lugar "muy, muy especial", y se dirigió a pie a la llamada "iglesia de los presidentes", afectada por las llamas.
"Tenemos un gran país", dijo Trump, con una Biblia en la mano.
Antes había anunciado el despliegue de miles de soldados armados en Washington, tras los disturbios, que calificó como una "deshonra". Trump asegura que va a detener "los disturbios, los saqueos, el vandalismo, los ataques y la destrucción gratuita de la propiedad".
Justamente antes de su discurso la Policía tuvo que dispersar a la multitud que se encontraba a las afueras de la residencia presidencial con gases lacrimógenos.
En la zona fue decretado un toque de queda, con el que las autoridades buscan evitar que se repitan los desmanes registrados en la noche del domingo.

Donald Trump, President of the United States, walked Monday from the White House to the Episcopal Church of Saint John, which a few hours ago was damaged by a fire registered during a historic anti-racism demonstration that hundreds of people advanced in recent hours.
At the end of a statement in the gardens of the White House, the president announced that he would go to a "very, very special" place, and went on foot to the so-called "church of the presidents", affected by the flames.
"We have a great country," said Trump, with a Bible in hand.
He had previously announced the deployment of thousands of armed soldiers in Washington after the riots, which he called a "disgrace." Trump assures that he is going to stop "the disturbances, the sackings, the vandalism, the attacks and the free destruction of the property".
Just before his speech, the police had to disperse the crowd that was outside the presidential residence with tear gas.
A curfew was decreed in the area, with which the authorities seek to prevent the excesses registered on Sunday night from repeating.
