Pres. Trump says he thought family of Harry Dunn, British teenager killed when the wife of a U.S. diplomat crashed into his motorcycle, wanted a meeting with her.
After the parents of Harry Dunn, a British teenager killed when the wife of an American diplomat crashed into his motorcycle, turned down a meeting with Anne Sacoolas at the White House on Tuesday, President Donald Trump told reporters Wednesday that he thought they wanted to meether.
"We weren't ready to meet her, it would have been too rushed," Tim Dunn said, according to the Press Association."It's not what we wanted; we wanted a meeting with her in the U.K." Dunn, 19, was riding his motorcycle along a roadway in the village of Croughton, England, on the night of Aug. 27, when a car traveling in the opposite direction on the wrong side of the road hit him head-on, killing him. Sacoolas, 42, who is married to an American diplomat, admitted that she was responsible for the crash, but fled the U.K. to the U.S.
President Trump says that he spoke with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who asked him if he would meet with Harry Dunn's family at the White House:"The people were lovely, they were very nice and they were desperately sad" https://t.co/7pAtaDH0b9 pic.twitter.com/XVy6emkrwb
