President of the United States ( The United States, Joe Biden, has apologized to some members of the National Guard who were forced to sleep in the open sky and parking lot after being told that they had to leave the Capitol building, which they had protected 24 hours earlier.
More than 25 thousand troops were deployed in Washington, DC for the inauguration of Beden, following violence earlier this month.
Photos and videos scattered Thursday showed soldiers who had been forced to spend the night in the parking lot. The images brought sharp reactions.
However, according to the BBC, Joe Bide has reacted by meeting the chief of the National Guard Bureau to apologise.
On the other hand, the first lady, Jill Biden, met some of the soldiers to thank them personally, writes A2.
I just wanted to come over today to say thank you all for taking care of my safety and my family”, Jill Biden told them.
