This isn’t Obama’s first time to offer his condolences to the victims of the Manchester bombing. Earlier in the week, he shared a heartfelt message alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a video posted by her office, saying, “As the father of two daughters, I am heartbroken by the extraordinary tragedy that has occurred in Manchester.”
He added: “To all the families who have been affected, to all those who are still recovering, to those who have lost loved ones, it’s unimaginable to think about the cruelty and the violence that the city of Manchester has suffered.”
