US President Donald Trump shared during a memorial
service in Glendale, Arizona, what he described as one of conservative activist
Charlie Kirk's last requests before his assassination earlier this month.
Trump claimed that Kirk, founder of the right-wing youth
organization Turning Point USA, had asked his administration to "save
Chicago," a city with which he had a strong personal connection, having
been born and raised in its surroundings.
In his speech, the president highlighted Kirk's
passion for conservative causes and his concern for the social and security
situation in Chicago, which has faced high rates of violence and crime in
recent years. "Charlie wanted to see his city reborn, he wanted justice
and peace for the communities he loved," Trump told family members,
supporters, and conservative figures attending the tribute.
Kirk's death has generated a strong wave of reactions in
political and media circles in the United States, both for his role as a youth
leader on the right and for the circumstances of his murder, which are still
under investigation.
The tribute in Glendale not only served to remember his
political and social legacy, but also to reinforce Trump's message about the
need to address security issues in large American cities.
