Part 5/7:
In response to the attack, President Biden announced that he had directed the Department of Defense to mobilize an additional 500 troops to bolster security around the capital. He pledged that America would "never bend" or "yield" to terrorism but also emphasized the importance of continued vigilance and action to protect national sovereignty.
