Tokyo: US President Donald Trump on Monday condemned what he described as a "horrific shooting," after 26 people were killed in a rampage at a Texas church.
"This act of evil occurred as the victims and their families were in their place of worship. Our hearts are broken," Trump said on a visit to Japan.
"We pull together, we join arms ... through the tears and the sadness we stand strong," added the president, addressing business leaders on day two of his Asian trip.
