| Description | (CNN)President Donald Trump announced Thursday that there will not be Republican convention activities in Jacksonville, Florida. Events in Charlotte, North Carolina, will still be held.
In a striking turnabout, Trump said he informed his team that his focus was on protecting the American people, even though aides advised him they could make an in-person convention safe.
"I looked at my team and I said the timing for this event is not right.
It's just not right," Trump said at the White House. "To have a big convention, it's not the right time."
"There's nothing more important in our country than keeping our people safe," Trump said. |
