As of 2018, the population of Sri Lanka was around 22 million.

More than 200 people have died in the coordinated explosions, which struck churches and hotels on Easter Sunday in three cities. About 450 have been injured.

Early estimates reported by news outlets put the death toll at 137.

Within an hour, the president deleted the incorrect tweet and sent a new one: “138 people have been killed in Sri Lanka, with more that 600 badly injured, in a terrorist attack on churches and hotels. The United States offers heartfelt condolences to the great people of Sri Lanka. We stand ready to help!” he wrote.

The explosions in Sri Lanka were the first thing Trump tweeted about Sunday morning. The president has faced criticism for his reaction to tragedies, sometimes for the content of his statements, but more often for his omissions and delayed responses.

After the March 15 attack on mosques in New Zealand, in which 50 people were killed in a shooting allegedly carried out by a white supremacist, Trump was criticized for initially spending much of his time on Twitter that weekend attacking rivals, retweeting conspiracy theorists and condemning the news media rather than addressing the shooting. Several days later, he tweeted that the “Fake News Media is working overtime to blame me for the horrible attack in New Zealand.”

In the most notable instance, Trump drew widespread criticism for his response to the Charlottesville protests in 2017, in which white supremacists clashed with counterprotesters and one woman was killed. The president initially blamed “many sides” and “both sides” for the violence, contradicting official White House statements that specifically condemned white supremacy, neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan. Politicians from both parties blasted the president for his remarks.
