The demonstrations in the United States were less violent yesterday than previous days, but they are still huge. In all 50 states, people now take to the streets against police brutality and (institutional) racism. Correspondent Marieke de Vries answered your questions about the situation in one live Q&A. An overview of the most important questions:
What is Trump doing about the demonstrations?
In the beginning it was the feeling that he only threw oil on the fire, says De Vries. Trump said: when the looting starts, the shooting starts. That was already an outright threat experienced by the protesters. “
“What he was not talking about was mentioning racism in American society. He never said: I understand you. That makes the demonstrators misunderstood.”
