The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has directed that all American flags across the nation be lowered to half-mast until Sunday evening in remembrance of Charlie Kirk, the co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA.
Kirk, widely recognized as a strong conservative voice among American youth, tragically passed away after being shot while speaking at an event held at Utah Valley University.
Confirming the heartbreaking news, Trump released a statement on his Truth Social account, writing:
“In honour of Charlie Kirk, a truly great American patriot, I am ordering all American flags throughout the United States lowered to half-mast until Sunday evening at 6 P.M.”
The announcement comes as supporters and fellow conservatives continue to mourn Kirk’s untimely death, describing him as a passionate advocate for freedom, patriotism, and the values he tirelessly championed through Turning Point USA.
This move underscores the impact Kirk made on American politics, particularly among the younger generation, and highlights the deep respect he earned from national leaders, including the former President.
