Trump Condemned by British Officials After ‘Unhelpful’ Parsons Green Bomb Tweets

He referred to his infamous travel ban in his third tweet, saying it should be “larger, tougher and more specific – but stupidly, that would be politically correct!” Ergo, it would seem Trump is making an assumption on the identity of the attacker (s) – that said person is of Middle Eastern background and/or could be described as “Muslim”.

Soon after 23 people were injured in the rush-hour blast at Parsons Green in London, Trump tweeted: “Another attack in London by a loser terrorist“.

Trump’s response angered British authorities, since he appeared to reveal certain information about the attack before they did.

“Another attack in London by a loser terrorist”, Trump wrote in a tweet.

He did not immediately offer condolences to the British people.

It was at 6.42am in Washington that Donald Trump tweeted himself into another diplomatic row with the UK.

What’s he said about Scotland Yard? While the police have declared it a terrorist incident, there is no word yet on whether any arrests have been made.

The bomb exploded on a packed train during morning rush hour Friday, leaving more than 20 people injured but no one with life-threatening injuries.

The US president made similar comments in June after Britain was hit by terror attacks on the London Bridge.

There was talk earlier this year of suspending transatlantic security briefings after details of the investigation into the bombing of an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, northern England, which killed 22 people, were leaked to the media by USA authorities.

Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, the senior national coordinator for counterterrorism policing, said the blaze was being treated as a “terrorist incident” and investigators were examining the remains of an improvised explosive device.

Trump said he had been briefed on the London attack, and said he had been told about “new risks of things happening”. “As London has proven again and again, we will never be intimidated or defeated by terrorism”, he said.

On Monday, Trump’s administration scored a key legal victory related to his travel ban when the Supreme Court granted a temporary stay of the ban’s effect on a group of around 24,000 refugees. The news organization reports it remains unclear if the Trump Administration will look to renew the travel bans. In March, five people were killed and 40 injured near Parliament when a knife-wielding man went on a rampage, plowing a vehicle into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, then stabbing a police officer to death.
