But Yoji, what does white supremacist murder in NZ have to do with the US? 

New Zealand mosques' attack suspect praised Trump in manifesto
A suspected gunman behind the Christchurch attacks has dubbed the US president as 'a symbol of renewed white identity'.

The Australian-born suspect who shot dead dozens of Muslim worshippers in Christchurch, New Zealand, has published a manifesto praising US President Donald Trump and Anders Breivik, the Norwegian white supremacist who murdered 77 people in Norway in 2011.

Trump, whose rhetoric is sometimes aligned with the far-right in the US, condemned the "horrible massacre" in a post on Twitter. 

"My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the mosques. 49 innocent people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured. The US stands by New Zealand for anything we can do," he wrote.

So far, it looks like the Manifesto is censored, for understandable reasons.  STill, it would be very interesting to read it.

Our Northern neighbor's prime minister was evidently not mentioned in the manifesto.

Canada's Justin Trudeau: "We must all confront Islamophobia"

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the terror attack in New Zealand and vowed to work with the country "to take action against violent extremism."

Here's what he said in a statement:
"To the people of New Zealand and to Muslim communities around the world: You are in our hearts and minds. We join in your grief and stand with you at this incredibly difficult time."

Trudeau also said the world must "recognize diversity as a source of strength, and not a threat."

"We must all confront Islamophobia and work to create a world in which all people—no matter their faith, where they live, or where they were born—can feel safe and secure," he said.
