US President Donald Trump has criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom for halting executions of all 563 inmates on the state’s death row, calling the move “a disaster for justice in America.”

Axar.az reports that Trump described the inmates as some of the most cold-blooded murderers ever to live and accused Newsom of being incompetent and insensitive.

“Many of these names, people who have killed, over and over again, can’t believe their luck in having a Governor so incompetent and insensitive that he would not let the long and winding legal system prevail.

The family members of those who were so viciously killed are, rightfully, devastated. Hopefully this decision will be overturned!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

It should be noted that last week, a decision was made in California to commute all death sentences to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
