Former US President Donald Trump has publicly condemned a violent attack on two National Guard soldiers in Washington D.C., describing the incident as a 'crime against humanity' and an 'act of terror'.
In a statement made on Thursday 27 November 2025, Trump directly attributed blame for the shooting to current President Joe Biden. He claimed the suspected assailant was an Afghan foreigner who had been brought into the United States by the Biden administration back in September 2021.
Trump's Scathing Critique of Immigration Policy
Trump asserted that this attack underscored what he views as the nation's most significant security threat. He launched a fierce critique against Biden's immigration policies, characterising them as disastrous for the country's safety.
His remarks took an inflammatory turn as he made sweeping allegations about immigrants, claiming that a staggering 20 million 'unknown and unvetted foreigners' had entered the U.S. under the previous administration.
Calls for Action and Re-examination
In response to the shooting, Trump demanded a full re-examination of all Afghan refugees who entered the country during Biden's tenure. He advocated for the removal of any individual not deemed beneficial to the United States.
The former president's comments have intensified the national debate on security and immigration, placing a renewed spotlight on the ongoing political divisions surrounding these critical issues.
