WASHINGTON, Aug 17 (KUNA) -- The US condemned Thursday's attack in Barcelona, Spain and will do "whatever is necessary to help," said President Donald Trump in a tweet.
During a press conference with his Japanese counterpart, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that the incident had the "hallmarks" of a "terrorist attack" and offered condolences to the loss of life and injuries that occurred.
The US consulate in Barcelona and Mission Spain team are assisting Americans in the country who have been affected.
Foreign Minister Taro Kono echoed, "Under no reason can terrorism be condoned. We absolutely condemn this, and, at this very difficult time, I'd like to express our solidarity to Spain."(end)
