US President, Joe Biden, has joined other world leaders to condemn the attack on former President Donald Trump, saying there is “no place in America for this kind of violence.”
“It’s sick. Sick,” he said in a press briefing in Delaware. “We cannot allow for this to be happening.”
He added: “I tried to get a hold of Donald – he’s with his doctors. Apparently, he’s doing well. I hope I get to speak to him tonight.”
The president is now understood to have spoken to his rival.
Former president Barack Obama wrote on X: “There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy.
“Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics.
“Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.”
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said on X: “I am appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump’s rally and we send him and his family our best wishes.
“Political violence in any form has no place in our societies, and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack.”
Israel’s president, Benjamin Netanyahu, posted: “Sara and I were shocked by the apparent attack on President Trump. We pray for his safety and speedy recovery.”
