White House aides are taking the first steps in planning a visit by US President Joe Biden to Texas after 19 children and two adults were killed in a mass shooting at an elementary school, sources close to the team say. .
Details are still being finalized and it is not yet known when the president will make the trip – planning takes into account that the visit cannot be distracting in the midst of response efforts.
The attack took place at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, South Texas, on Tuesday afternoon (24).
San Antonio University Hospital said on Twitter that it had received two injured victims in Uvalde, a 66-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl, both listed in critical condition.
Biden ordered the flags to be flown at half-mast until sunset daily until May 28 due to the tragedy. The president also made an incisive speech against the US arms industry. “We need to stand up to this industry,” he said.
In his political trajectory, Biden adopted an anti-arms speech, and declared to be “exhausted” from the situation in the country. “Don’t tell me we can’t have an impact on this carnage.”
“This kind of massacre doesn’t happen as often as it does in the United States. Why? Why do we have to live with this carnage?” he asked, then asked for prayers for the victims and their families.
