"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 press secretary Josh Earnest said.

"We will have more information on the President's trip in the coming days."

Obama's trip will come four days after the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, which killed 49 people at Pulse, a gay nightclub, and injured 53 others.

Authorities have since identified Omar Mateen, 29, as the shooter. He died in a battle with responding police officers.

Mateen, a U.S. citizen from Port St. Lucie, Fla., allegedly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) during the attack.

Mateen’s rampage in a gay nightclub during Pride Month has since fueled speculation that anti-LGBT sentiment inspired the massacre.

Seddique Mir Mateen, the alleged shooter's father, on Sunday said his son became “very angry” earlier this year upon seeing two men kissing in Miami.

He added that his son’s actions are not a reflection on Islam, insisting they “had nothing to do with religion.”

Obama earlier Monday said no evidence exists linking Mateen with an extremist group overseas such as ISIS.

“At this stage, we see no clear evidence he was directed externally,” he said in the Oval Office, adding the incident appears to be “homegrown extremism” instead.

“We are importing radical Islamic terrorism from the West through a failed immigration system,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire.

Trump on Sunday also said Obama should “step down” for refusing to attribute the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history to radical Islam.
