President Trump on Monday presented the nation’s highest award for public safety officers to six cops who confronted the gunman in the Aug. 4 mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, in which nine people were killed.

America’s neighbors have long lived with the cross-border creep of U.S. gun culture – sometimes with outrage, often with a sense of resignation.

But the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, this month have emboldened foreign stances against lax U.S. gun laws and shifted conversations about what that means for crime and safety north and south of the U.S. border.

President Donald Trump emerged from a Dayton hospital on Wednesday grieving — for himself.

After visiting with survivors of this weekend's shooting massacre in the mid-size western Ohio city, Trump took to Twitter to rage at Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley. He was furious about a press conference in which Brown said some of the hospital staff had "showed respect for the office" even after having indicated privately they were "not great admirers" of the president.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Protesters greeted President Donald Trump’s arrival in Dayton Wednesday, blaming his incendiary rhetoric for inflaming political and racial tensions in the country, as he visited survivors of last weekend’s mass shootings and saluted first responders.

President Donald Trump will visit the cities where this weekend's mass shootings took place, according to news reports.

El Paso, Texas Mayor Dee Margo said at a news conference Monday the president will visit the city Wednesday, and Federal Aviation Administration adviseries suggest Trump will be in Dayton on the same day.

Margo, a Republican, has been a critic of Trump and earlier this year would not meet with him while he was in El Paso.

But he said Monday he would meet with him under his capacity as mayor and ask Trump for federal help.

Despite objections from some residents, President Donald Trump will travel Wednesday to El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, to review recovery efforts from mass shootings over the weekend, officials said Tuesday.

Security officials find the cities "safe and ready" for Trump visits with victims' families, survivors and law enforcement personnel involved, said presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway.

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a notification of "VIP movement" in El Paso and Dayton on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump will visit El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, in the coming days, following mass shootings in the cities over the weekend, the White House confirmed on Monday.

Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway told reporters at the White House on Monday that Trump will travel to Dayton and El Paso, she said, to express his condolences and help provide resources. Trump wants to hear more, she said, from the mayors of the cities and those directly affected.
