Ron DeSantis on Sunday urged stronger security “precautions” for foreign nationals training on U.S. military bases after a Saudi gunman shot and killed three people at the Pensacola naval base Friday, in an attack believed to be an act of terror. DeSantis delivered the remarks during a Sunday news conference, calling for more substantial security vetting of foreign nationals before they head to the U.S. for training. “My view is that for us to be bringing in these foreign nationals, you have to take precautions to protect the country," the governor said. DeSantis pressed for more questioning into how the Saudi military and government vetted people who may have harbored radical worldviews. More than 850 Saudis are in the United States for various training activities, among the thousands of foreign students from 153 countries in the U.S. going through military training, officials said.
