Trump says he thought grieving parents wanted to meet driver in their son's fatal crash

The parents were stunned.

President Trump says he thought the grieving parents of a British teenager who was killed in a car crash involving an American diplomat’s wife wanted to meet with the woman during a White House visit. But Harry Dunn’s parents say they were stunned by the surprise proposition.

Attorney Mark Stephens told the Associated Press that the couple had no idea the diplomat’s wife, Anne Sacoolas, would be in the building when they were there Tuesday. He said the couple wants to meet with Sacoolas at some point, but not in a surprise meeting staged for reporters. Trump said that Sacoolas had been waiting in a room just off the Oval Office when he made the offer to Harry Dunn’s family.

Sacoolas left Britain shortly after, though police released a statement saying she had previously told them she had no plans to depart.
