The U.S. will do whatever it can to help Belgium bring to justice those responsible for Tuesday's terror attacks, President Barack Obama declared Tuesday.
Obama urged international unity in the fight against terror after the attacks left at least 34 people dead.
"We will do whatever is necessary to support our friend and ally Belgium in bringing to justice those who are responsible," Obama said in brief remarks while in Cuba, where he was making an address to the Cuban people after his administration ended decades of estrangement between the two countries.
The President said that the thoughts and prayers of Americans are with the people of Belgium, "and we stand in solidarity with them in condemning these outrageous attacks against innocent people."
"This is yet another reminder that the world must unite," Obama said. "We must be together regardless of nationality or race or faith in fighting against the scourge of terrorism."
"We can and will defeat those who threaten the safety and security of people all around the world," Obama said.
Obama called Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel to offer his condolences and reaffirm U.S. support, saying Americans would stand alongside the European Union and NATO in defeating terrorism.
