President Trump spoke with Spanish President Mariano Rajoy on Friday to offer condolences following a deadly terrorist attack in Barcelona, Spain on Thursday.
A White House press statement said that Trump, « pledged the full support of the United States in investigating the attack and bringing the perpetrators and their associates to justice. »
A van rammed into dozens of people in a popular pedestrian area of the city on Thursday in what authorities are calling a terrorist attack.
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria took credit for the attack, which Spanish officials reported left more than a dozen dead and 50 others injured.
President Trump has condemned the attack and offered help to the country on Thursday as well.
« The United States condemns the terror attack in Barcelona, Spain, and will do whatever is necessary to help. Be tough & strong, we love you! » Trump wrote in a tweet.

The deadly crash came just days after a man with reported white supremacist ties allegedly rammed his car into a crowd of anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville, Va., during a white supremacist rally to protest the removal of a Confederate statue, killing one and injuring more than a dozen others.
