President Trump called the lack of trust between African Americans and law enforcement officials "a very sad problem."
The president discussed the black community's level of trust in the police in an interview on Fox News Radio with Brian Kilmeade Wednesday morning. During the appearance, the president was asked about a recent Axios-Ipsos poll that showed 77% of white people trust the police while only 36% of black people do.
“Well, I think it’s a very sad problem,” Trump said. After being pushed by Kilmeade, he added in reference to the death of George Floyd in police custody: "I think [police officers] have to get better than what they were doing. I mean, obviously, that was a terrible thing."
