President Donald Trump has said that strong new jobs numbers marked a "great day" for George Floyd, the man whose killing last week sparked nationwide protests over police brutality against African Americans. Apparently referring to a surge in employment, Mr Trump said:
"Hopefully, George is looking down right now and saying, 'This is a great thing that's happening for our country.'
"This is a great day for him, it's a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody."
