President Obama is cutting short his trip to Europe and will travel to Dallas next week in the wake of anger and unrest over the ambush murders of five police officers.
The White House said Mr. Obama will return to Washington on Sunday night – one day earlier than planned. He has accepted an invitation from Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings to travel to Dallas early next week.
“The president will continue the work to bring people together to support our police officers and communities, and find common ground by discussing policy ideas for addressing the persistent racial disparities in our criminal justice system,” the White House said.
