His comments came a day after incumbent US President Joe Biden commuted the death sentences of most federal inmates sentenced to the maximum penalty.
“As soon as I take office, I will direct the Department of Justice to vigorously pursue the use of the death penalty to protect American families and children from brutal rapists, murderers and monsters. We will once again be a nation of law and order,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social social network.
As The Guardian notes, the newly elected president will not be able to reverse Biden’s decision, which concerned 37 federal prisoners sentenced to death. In his statement, the current head of state emphasized that he “condemns these murderers, mourns the victims of their terrible crimes and sympathizes with all the families who have experienced an incredible and irreparable loss.”
Opponents of the death penalty welcomed Biden’s decision, while some in the public criticized the move.
