U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking after talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the town of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, said the United States stands in “absolute solidarity” with the British people after the Manchester suicide bombing that killed at least 22 people on Monday (May 22) night.
“This wicked ideology must be obliterated, and I mean completely obliterated,” he added.
Police said the attacker detonated the explosives shortly after 10:33 pm (2133 GMT) at Manchester Arena, as thousands of fans streamed out of a concert by U.S. singer Ariana Grande.
Children were among the dead, police said.
