President Trump Thanks Military Involvement Amid COVID-19 and Protests

While delivering remarks at the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2020 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the president takes the opportunity to mention military involvement during the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent protests. He thanks the military who he says, "helped battle the invisible enemy, the new virus, that came to our shores from a distant land called China," and then thanks the National Guard, "who respond with precision to so many recent challenges…..to ensuring peace, safety and the constitutional rule of law on our streets." close
