"We are continuing to monitor any reported incidents of hate crime in Cleveland, and would urge anyone who is a victim of hate crime to come forward. We must stand united against hatred and extremism in all it's ugly forms", Ivanka, a top presidential advisor, tweeted.
But the headlines on Monday are on the fourth terror attack to hit the country this year, with condemnation streaming in from every corner, including from Prime Minister Theresa May.
Citing witnesses, the Guardian reports that after deliberately targeting pedestrians, the driver "got out of the van and shouted "I want to kill Muslims" before onlookers pinned him to the ground".
The driver of the van has reportedly been arrested.
The man who died had already been receiving first aid from a member of the public, police said.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) said "the incident reflected the rise of Islamophobia in Europe, especially after the recent terrorist attacks which had raised the concern for a potential backlash against the Muslim communities".
One person died during the incident, which took place in the early hours of Monday, and eight more were seriously injured.

The area around Damascus Gate was sealed off in the hours after the attack, with a few youths throwing fireworks at police. According to an initial investigation, Malka fought hard during the attack before succumbing to multiple stab wounds.
Mr Corbyn, who lives close to the scene, said he became aware of the incident very quickly as police responded early on Monday. Three Islamic extremists who carried out the attack were killed by police. Officials did not say how many victims there are.
Mohammed Kozbar, chairman of the Finsbury Park mosque, described it as a "cowardly attack which is no different from the attacks in Manchester or London", referring to the suicide bombing in Manchester in northwest England on May 22, which left 22 people dead.
"Horrible attack on mosque attendees in London".
A van rammed into a crowd as worshippers were leaving a mosque after Sunday night prayer in north London, during this, the holy month of Ramadan.
Counter-terrorism police were called out to investigate the incident, which occurred in London's Finsbury Park neighborhood just after midnight.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: "While this appears to be an attack on a particular community, like the bad attacks in Manchester, Westminster and London Bridge it is also an assault on all our shared values of tolerance, freedom and respect".
