'An interesting situation': Trump comments on the failed execution of a woman in Tennessee

U.S. President Donald Trump expressed bewilderment over the failed execution of Christa Pike.

He wondered how the condemned woman could have survived, since administering lethal injections, in his opinion, should be "simple."

"It should be easy. There shouldn't be anything complicated about it," Mr. Trump said while speaking with reporters.

The president called what happened "an interesting situation." Whether the authorities will continue trying to carry out the death sentence, the president does not know. "You'll have to ask the state of Tennessee about that. Whether they will continue or not," Mr. Trump said.
