Details: The US President said he learned about the detention a few minutes before the interview.
Trump expressed his hope that the killer would be sentenced to death.
The sources reported Fox News on Friday that the suspect in the shooting was detained in the southern part of Utah.
That preceded: On the evening of September 10, the American presenter Charlie Kirk was shot on September 10 during his performance at the Vally University campus in Utah. He died later.
Reference: Charlie Kirk was among the founders of Turning Point USA, which actively attracted young people in the conservative movement and played a key role in mobilizing young voters in the support of Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential election.
He quickly became a permanent figure in the Trump media sphere. He continuously published tweets with bold right views, including provocative statements about Jews, gays and blacks. Even some conservatives considered his posts disgusting, but not Trump. The growing popularity of the crust was largely facilitated by the fact that Trump regularly retired his message.
Kirk had 5.3 million subscribers on the social network X and led a popular Podkast and radio program The Charlie Kirk Show.
He gained reputation through his provocative statements. He sharply criticized the leading media, spoke from conservative positions on race, gender and immigration, and consistently opposed providing military assistance to Ukraine. His statements about Russia’s war against Ukraine often resonated with the Kremlin narratives.
In particular, Kirk diminished the scale of the Russian invasion, calling it “border conflict.” He made offensive attacks to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a “cure puppet”, and disdainfully responded to the suffering of Ukrainians, stating that most Americans “would not even be able to find Ukraine on the map.”
Kirk argued that the continuation of the war is beneficial to the “military-industrial complex”, presenting the Western support of Ukraine as a corruption scheme, not as a vital help. He also called for the restoration of diplomatic relations with Russia and accused Ukraine of reluctance to complete the war.
