Trump to address policing Thursday as White House grapples with Floyd response
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump plans to publicly address policing reform while meeting with law enforcement and African-American faith leaders in Dallas on Thursday, a senior administration official said, as the White House continues to struggle with a political and policy response on the issue.
The president could also announce some measures to address the issue of race and policing in the U.S. that he can do on his own with an executive order, the official said.
More than two weeks after the death of George Floyd in police custody, the White House has yet to settle on a message in reaction to concerns about police brutality and systemic racism in law enforcement that have triggered widespread protests.
White House aides had hoped earlier in the week that Trump would formally unveil a package of proposals on policing reforms as early as Thursday, administration officials told NBC News.
