Former President Donald Trump has been briefed on the incident and condemned the violence, emphasizing that such acts will not be tolerated in the United States.

In response to the upcoming protests against him, Republican governors in several states are mobilizing national guard troops to maintain order and ensure public safety.

Despite concerns, Trump has confirmed that the military parade in Washington celebrating the US army's 250th anniversary will proceed as planned, rain or shine.
