Former President Donald Trump said on Friday that Congress should prioritize funding for school security over military aid to Ukraine, with his remarks coming in the context of the massacre in Uvalde, Texas, in which a gunman shot 21 people to death.

Trump began his speech at the National Rifle Association (NRA) annual convention in Houston by reading out the names of the victims of the Uvalde massacre, one of the worst school shootings in the United States in a decade.
