U.S. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump visited Saint John Paul II National Shrine in Washington, D.C., a day after Trump deepened outrage by posing at a church clutching a bible after law enforcement officers used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse protesters.
The photo op also came a day after at least five U.S. police officers were shot and wounded during violent protests over the death of a black man in police custody, police and media said.
Trump on Monday vowed to deploy the military if unrest did not stop.
