Trump says U.S. closely monitoring 'terrorist' attack in Manila


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday the United States was closely monitoring what he described as a "terrorist" attack in Manila, while the police chief of the Philippines said the shooting incident at a gaming resort may have been a robbery.

"We’re closely monitoring the situation ... but it is really very sad as to what’s going on in the world with terror," Trump said at a White House ceremony where he announced the United States would withdraw from a landmark 2015 global agreement to fight climate change.
