In a tweet, Trump said France is once again on edge and it is time that the United States become smart in addressing the challenge posed by such terrorist groups.
"A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART US," Trump said in a tweet this morning.
Media reports said soldiers shot at a terrorist outside Paris Louvre museum.
"We are dealing with an attack from an individual who was clearly aggressive and represented a direct threat, and whose comments lead us to believe that he wished to carry out a terrorist incident," Michel Cadot, the head of Paris Police said.
The suspect was found to have been carrying two machetes. No fire explosives were found so far.
