Trump calls Newsom's decision to halt executions in California a catastrophe

Sharp reaction to the halt of executions

Donald Trump expressed firm criticism regarding a decision made at the state level in California. The head of state called the initiative to suspend the execution of death sentences a true catastrophe.

Criticism directed at Governor Newsom

The target of the criticism was the actions of State Governor Gavin Newsom. It was he who halted executions for 563 individuals held in California prisons.

Appeal to the fate of victims' families

In his comment, Trump emphasised that among these 563 convicts are particularly brutal murderers. He added that the families of the deceased were left devastated. In this regard, the President called for the decision made by the Governor to be reversed.
