President Donald Trump on Sunday urged Jewish Americans to continue celebrating their faith in the wake of a deadly attack on a Hanukkah event in Sydney, Australia.

"Celebrate proudly – be proud of who you are," he said on Fox News.

Trump made the comments after two gunmen opened fire on an event at Bondi Beach in Sydney, targeting a group of Jews celebrating the first night of Hanukkah.
