WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama will travel Thursday to Orlando, the site of the deadliest mass shooting in US history that he has branded as a “horrific massacre” resulting from terror and hate.

“On Thursday, the president will travel to Orlando, Florida to pay his respects to victims’ families, and to stand in solidarity with the community as they embark on their recovery,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in a statement.
