WASHINGTON – King Salman of Saudi Arabia called President Donald Trump to express his condolences over the attack at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, the president said Friday.
"It's a horrible thing that took place and we're getting to the bottom of it," Trump told reporters before a roundtable discussion on small business and red tape reduction.
The suspect, a Saudi national, was training in aviation at the base, which hosts members of military from around the world, according to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
"Obviously, the government of Saudi Arabia needs to make things better for these victims," DeSantis said in a press conference earlier Friday. "They’re going to owe a debt here."
Trump declined to say whether the shooting was related to terrorism, but added authorities would be releasing more information in the form of a report shortly.
“That’s all being studied now,” Trump said of the attack. “We will be talking about it very soon.”
The shooting left four people dead, including the suspect, and eight others wounded. It was the second attack at a U.S. Navy base in a week.
The president’s remarks closely mirrored a series of tweets he posted earlier Friday in which he said he spoke with Salman about the incident. Trump wrote that the king called to offer his condolences.
“The King said that the Saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter, and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the Saudi people who love the American people,” Trump posted on Twitter.
