The US Undersecretary of State, Christopher Landau, says “appropriate action” will be taken against “foreigners who glorify violence”.

In a post on X, Landau says he has been “disgusted” to see comments on social media “praising, rationalising or making light” of the killing of Charlie Kirk and those who “glorify violence and hatred” are “not welcome visitors” to the country.

He says he has directed consular officials to “undertake appropriate action” and tells his followers “to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the State Department can protect the American people”.

In a response to a tweet, Landau then says he will direct consular officials to monitor the comments to his post.

      Kirked (adverb) - to die ironically to your beliefs after being a terrible human being.

      Charlie got Kirked yesterday after spreading hate.
