President Biden Monitoring Explosion at U.S.-Canada Border
President Joe Biden is closely monitoring the situation following an explosion at the U.S.-Canada border, according to the White House.
At least two individuals tragically lost their lives on Wednesday when a car crashed into a structure at the Rainbow Bridge port of entry. The FBI’s joint terrorism task force is collaborating with state authorities to oversee border crossings, raising concerns that this incident may be a terror attack, although this has yet to be confirmed.
White House Press Secretary’s Statement
“The president has been briefed on the vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge Port of Entry,” said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in a statement on Wednesday. “He and his team are closely following developments.”
President Biden is currently in Nantucket, Massachusetts, where he will be spending the holiday weekend. Initial reports regarding the incident have been conflicting, with some suggesting that the vehicle was entering the U.S. and others claiming it was heading into Canada.
According to ABC News, surveillance footage revealed that the vehicle was initially stopped at a border checkpoint before being transferred to a second checkpoint location. It was at this point that the vehicle accelerated, resulting in the crash and subsequent explosion.
