Trump asks supporters to avoid violence before inauguration

Washington, Jan 13 (EFE).- President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued a second video message to the nation in which he "unequivocally" condemned the violence in the attack by his supporters on the US Capitol last week.

"I want to make it very clear: I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week," Trump said in the video posted to the White House's YouTube channel, going on to say that "no true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence."

He called for calm and asked people to help promote peace throughout the country. (Camera: HANDOUT).
