President Donald Trump isn’t planning to attend the funeral for George Floyd, whose death in police custody in Minneapolis last week sparked a wave of protests across the U.S.
A memorial was held for Floyd in Minneapolis on Thursday and another is set for this weekend in North Carolina. His funeral is scheduled for Tuesday in Houston. For now, Trump is not planning to attend any of the events, two people familiar with the matter said.
