‘It’s a small group of people’: Trump again denies white nationalism is rising threat
President downplays hate surge after white supremacist, who mentioned Trump in a manifesto, attacked New Zealand mosques
Donald Trump said he did not view white nationalism as a rising threat around the world, as New Zealand is reeling from a white supremacist attack on two mosques that killed 49 people.
Asked by a reporter on Friday if he saw an increase globally in the threat of white nationalism, the US president responded: “I don’t really. I think it’s a small group of people that have very, very serious problems. I guess, if you look at what happened in New Zealand, perhaps that’s a case. I don’t know enough about it yet.”
