U.S. President Trump holds news conference at the White House in Washington

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed a decision by Kentucky's governor to call in the National Guard after prosecutors cleared police officers of criminal charges in the death of Breonna Taylor, a Black medical worker killed in March.

Trump said he would speak shortly with the governor, Andy Beshear, and said state Attorney General Daniel Cameron was handling the situation "very well."

"We have a call scheduled to make very shortly with the governor. I understand he's called up the National Guard, which is a good thing. I think it's a very positive thing," Trump said. "And it'll all work out."
