The president said he spoke to Saudi Arabia's King Salman Al-Saud Friday, following a deadly shooting on a Pensacola, Florida naval base, which authorities say was committed by a visiting Saudi national.
President Donald Trump spoke by phone to Saudi Arabia's King Salman following a deadly shooting on a Pensacola, Florida naval base.
"King Salman of Saudi Arabia just called to express his sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families and friends of the warriors who were killed and wounded in the attack that took place in Pensacola, Florida," Trump tweeted shortly after 2:00pm on Friday. At a press conference Friday afternoon near the naval base, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said, "The government of Saudi Arabia needs to make things better for these victims," adding that the oil-rich Middle Eastern kingdom was "going to owe a debt here given that it was one of their individuals."
But Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., whose congressional district includes the Pensacola naval base, told a local TV station Friday afternoon, "we can safely call this an act of terrorism, not an act of workplace violence."
