President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is taking steps to “de-escalate” the volatile situation in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Alex Pretti by federal agents there over the weekend.
He made the comments during an interview on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show,” calling for an “honest investigation” into the shooting and giving his candid thoughts about Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, who earlier this week was removed from the state after leading the administration’s immigration enforcement surge.
“Bovino is very good, but he’s an out there kind of guy,” Trump said. “In some cases, that’s good, maybe it wasn’t good here.”
