The parents of a 19-year-old British biker allegedly killed by a U.S. diplomats wife in a crash said they turned down an offer to meet the woman during a visit with President Donald Trump at the White House.

After the brief White House visit on Tuesday, Charlotte Charles, the grieving mother of Harry Dunn, told reporters that she was “a bit shocked” when she learned from the president that Anne Sacoolas was in the next room.

The couple praised President Trump for being compassionate and sincere, noting that he was “quite respondent” when he held the mothers hand.

“When he [President Trump] held my hand, I gripped it a lot tighter and I was honest with him and just said, as I said a while ago, if it was your son you would be doing the same as us,'” said Charlotte Charles, reported the Sky News. “He actually gripped my hand a little bit tighter and said yes I would be.'”
