Trump Offers Condolences Over Deadly Tsunami in Indonesia

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 24th December, 2018) US President Donald Trump expressed condolences on Sunday over the deadly tsunami that hit Indonesia's western coast.

"Unthinkable devastation from the tsunami disaster in Indonesia. More than two hundred dead and nearly a thousand injured or unaccounted for. We are praying for recovery and healing. America is with you!" Trump said on Twitter.

The tsunami, which was triggered by a volcano eruption, struck the Indonesian coast at 14:27 GMT on Saturday. According to media reports, over 200 people have been killed as a result of the disaster, while more than 800 others sustained injuries and some 30 went missing.
