Washington, United States:
President Donald Trump said Friday that the number of new jobs marked a “big day” for George Floyd, the man whose murder last week sparked nationwide protests against police brutality against Afro- Americans.
Eleven days after Floyd’s death while handcuffed in the custody of Minneapolis police, Trump declared that such violence could not happen.
“Equality of justice under the law must mean that every American receives equal treatment every time they meet law enforcement, regardless of race, color, sex or creed,” he said. he declares.
And then he added, “Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying,” It’s a great thing that’s happening for our country. “
“It’s a great day for him, it’s a great day for everyone. It’s a great day for everyone.”
Trump was apparently referring to an increase in employment.
The Ministry of Labor reported that the country had gained 2.5 million jobs in May and that the unemployment rate had fallen to 13.3% after extremely high job losses in the previous months due to blockages by coronaviruses .
Trump said his administration has done more for African Americans than previous presidents, including lowering their unemployment rate.

“It’s a great day in terms of equality,” said Trump.
