Statement by the Press Secretary on Attacks in France, Kuwait, and Tunisia

The United States condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist attacks in France, Kuwait, and Tunisia today.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of these heinous attacks, their loved ones, and the people of all three countries.  As the President has discussed with his French, Kuwaiti, and Tunisian counterparts in recent weeks, we are resolute and united in our shared effort to fight the scourge of terrorism.

We stand with these nations as they respond to attacks on their soil today, and we have been in contact with appropriate counterparts in all three countries to offer any necessary support.  Terrorism has no place in any society, and the United States will continue to work closely with our international partners to combat terrorist actors and counter violent extremism around the globe.
