White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany held media briefing in Washington after President Trump's controversial visit to Kenosha, Wis. despite objections from state and local leaders.
During the visit, Trump pledged to provide US$1 million in federal support to Kenosha law enforcement, US$4 million to small businesses, and US$42 million to public safety statewide, contrasting that with "leftist" calls to "defund the police."
Kenosha has seen ongoing protests since the shooting of Black man Jacob Blake by a police officer on August 23.
Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, who was shot seven times in the back by a police officer when members of the city's police department responded to a domestic dispute call.
