President Barack Obama spoke on the terrorist incidents in Paris this week, saying "we're hopeful the immediate threat is now resolved."
"In the streets of Paris, the world has seen once again what terrorists stand for," Obama said. "They have nothing to offer but hatred and human suffering."
"We stand for freedom, hope, and the dignity of all human beings and that's what the city of Paris represents to the world," Obama added.
Obama said the U.S. has been in close touch with the French government throughout this week, and he has directed law enforcement and counterintelligence officials to "provide whatever support our ally needs in confronting this challenge."
