Washington (USA), 11 September (LaPresse) – Charlie Kirk was ‘a giant of his generation’ and ‘an inspiration to millions of people’. This was stated by President Donald Trump at the beginning of his speech at the Pentagon on the 24th anniversary of the 11 September attacks. The president announced that the conservative influencer, who was shot dead while holding a rally at Utah Valley University, will be posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in the United States.
