On Tuesday at the White House briefing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt reaffirmed President Donald Trump's administrations stance on protecting all Americans, including those experiencing antisemitic terrorism.

Leavitt told reporters, “As for specifically antisemitic terrorism and antisemitic acts of violence and those that are targeting Jewish Americans, this administration has done more to combat that violence than any administration in history, and one incident is one too many.”

Referring to former President Joe Biden’s time in office, she stated that, “frankly, that’s something the previous administration was not willing to say.”

“This president will stand up for Americans of all religions, of all faiths, of all creeds, and we will continue to look at policy measures and actions that we can take in addition to the actions that have already been taken to curb this antisemitic violence. And to Jewish Americans at home across the country, this President has your back.”
