This is what the adviser to the head of the country said after the weekend attack on former US President Donald Trump. When asked whether the security of the highest Lithuanian officials should not be strengthened after this incident, A. Skaisgirytė assured that President G. Nausėda is satisfied with the work of the officers of the Management Security Service.
“The management security service works very well, the president has no complaints about it. Well, those who voluntarily refused protection should perhaps rethink this,” A. Skaisgirytė told reporters on Monday.
As previously announced, a couple of years ago the Seimas adopted amendments to the Law on the Protection of Management, which stipulates that the leaders of the Seimas and the Government are not protected by officers around the clock. This exception does not apply to the President.
ELTA reminds that there was an attack on a politician at the Trump campaign event in Pennsylvania on Saturday evening.
After an attacker shot at the former US president, D. Trump injured his ear. One spectator was shot dead and two others were injured in the attack.
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has identified the shooter at Donald Trump’s campaign event. This is 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from the state of Pennsylvania. Security forces killed the 20-year-old shooter.
