Donald Trump: US President wants to deliver a speech

US President Donald Trump has condemned Floyd's death several times. However, he is accused of not clearly positioning himself against racism and of not showing enough understanding for the anger about discrimination and injustice in the country. His visit to a nearby church, including the use of tear gas against demonstrators, had caused an outcry among believers and atheists alike. To de-escalate, Trump could now take a clear position in his speech. 

LAW & ORDER!

Even Donald Trump's handling of the protests caused a stir. He described the riots as "acts of domestic terror" and appealed to all mayors and governors to "show an overwhelming police presence" until "the violence is overwhelmed". 

George Floyd's death: Donald Trump's handling of the protests in criticism 

George Floyd died in a brutal arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25. A white police officer had pressed his knee on the neck of Floyd lying on the floor for almost nine minutes - despite all requests from the 46-year-old to let him breathe. Floyd was arrested on suspicion of paying with a false $ 20 bill. Since his death, there have been major protests in the United States - and worldwide - against police violence, racism and discrimination.
