World leaders condemn apparent assassination attempt against Trump


World leaders condemned an apparent assassination attempt against former US President Donald Trump at a campaign rally Saturday in the state of Pennsylvania.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who met with Trump days earlier, expressed his solidarity.

"My thoughts and prayers are with President @realDonaldTrump in these dark hours," Orban wrote on X.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also took to X, where he said he and his wife Sara, were "shocked by the apparent attack on President Trump " and are praying “for his safety and speedy recovery.”

The shooting that killed one spectator and critically injured two others, is being investigated as a possible assassination attempt. The shooter was also killed.

Newly-elected British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was "appalled" by the shocking scenes at the rally and was sending the former president and his family "best wishes."

"Political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack," said Starmer.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also expressed his horror.

"It cannot be overstated — political violence is never acceptable. My thoughts are with former President Trump, those at the event, and all Americans," said Trudeau.
