Killing intensifies Portland divisions

Portland, Oregon, again is at the center of heated political discourse in the United States after a man was shot and killed over the weekend during a clash between protesters and supporters of US President Donald Trump.

The mayor of Portland and the president exchanged a slew of insults on Sunday on the situation in the city.

The man who died was a member of Patriot Prayer, a right-wing group. The clashes ensued when a caravan of about 600 vehicles with Trump 2020 and US flags rippling descended on the Pacific Northwest city.
