President Donald Trump on Thursday said that assassinated conservative commentator Charlie Kirk had a chance of becoming president one day.

“Just last week, a great American, Charlie Kirk, was heinously assassinated for speaking his mind,” Trump said as he closed his opening remarks with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “He was a great young man. Incredible future. Some people said he might be president someday. I told him, I said, ‘Charlie, I think if you have a good shot someday being president.’
