In an announcement that offsets the “worldwide travel alert” issued by the United States State Department late Monday night, President Barack Obama reassured Americans that there is no “specific and credible” evidence supporting a terrorist plot on the country during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Obama issued the statement at the White House Wednesday, after a brief with his national security team which includes FBI Director James Comey, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson and his national security advisor Susan Rice.

In the remarks, he urged America to remain vigilant, but not to stray from what they normally would do.

“While the threat of terrorism is a troubling reality of our age, we are both equipped to prevent attacks and we are resilient in the face of those who would try to do us harm,” he said.

“And that’s something we can all be thankful for.”

This from the Associated Press:

“I know that Americans have been asking each other whether it’s safe here, whether it’s safe to fly or gather,” he said. “I know that families have discussed their fears about the threat of terrorism around the dinner table.”

The president said that if intelligence were to reveal a credible threat to the U.S., the public would be informed. But he said Americans should feel confident in the work being done by national security and law enforcement officials.

“We are taking every possible step to keep our homeland safe,” he said.
