Trump's Remarks at Announcement of PREVENTS Task Force Roadmap
REMARKS
Remarks by President Trump at Announcement of PREVENTS Task Force Roadmap
VETERANS
Issued on: June 17, 2020
East Room
2:21 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. (Applause.) Please. Thank you. Good afternoon.
And, before we begin, five years ago, nine innocent parishioners of a historically black church — you all remember this horrible event — were tragically killed during an evening Bible study in Charleston, South Carolina. That was a despicable act of evil.
Today, we remember this somber day as our hearts still break for the victims, and our prayers go with all. That was a terrible event. That was a terrible day. Terrible, terrible day for our country, for the world to witness.
Thank you very much for being with us at the White House as we reaffirm our sacred promise to support and protect our great veterans. We love our veterans — and great they are. With honor and courage, these incredible patriots perform their duty to America, and now we must fulfill our duty to them. And that’s what we’re doing, and we’re doing it beyond what anyone has ever done, as President or as an administration.
We’re gathered together to address an especially urgent struggle. Today, we’re unveiling our Roadmap to Empower Veterans and End the National Tragedy of Suicide. A tremendous problem. Tremendous, tremendous problem.

I see General Kellogg; he’s one of our great generals. He’s done a fantastic job for me, and he’s doing some very important things for me right now. So, General, thank you very much. Really fantastic job.
And we will have another meeting soon. And that meeting will be a meeting of progress, because I know with Karen in charge and with the Surgeon General working along with Karen and the group that you have — I know every one of them — you’re going to make big, big progress very, very fast.
So thank you very much. Thank you. Karen, thank you very much. Mike, thank you. (Applause.)
