Biden offers condolences, cooperation with Germany after Christmas market attack

President Biden issued his condolences on Saturday over an attack on a Christmas market in Germany that left five dead and injured 200.

“No community—and no family—should have to endure such a despicable and dark event, especially just days before a holiday of joy and peace,” Biden wrote.

He said his administration would be in close contact with German officials.  

“We’ve made it clear that the United States stands ready to offer all available resources and assistance if needed.
