In expressing his condolences, Trump incorrectly said millions more had died in a deadly series of explosions in Sri Lanka
1 / 4In expressing his condolences to those impacted by the Sri Lanka blasts, President Donald Trump initially claimed incorrectly that millions had died in the South Asia country on Easter Sunday.
Trump offered support for Sri Lanka in the early morning tweet."Heartfelt condolences from the people of the United States to the people of Sri Lanka on the horrible terrorist attacks on churches and hotels that have killed at least 138 million people and badly injured 600 more. We stand ready to help," the president said.
Trump's tweets come hours after Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe issued his own statement on Twitter cautioning against spreading unverified reports.
