Leaders from around the world expressed shock and showed an outpouring of support for former President Donald Trump after a man shot him in the ear during what federal law enforcement officials have officially labeled an assassination attempt.
The suspect — identified by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks — was shot and killed after he fired multiple rounds at Trump, one of which was an inch from being a potentially fatal hit. At least one Trump supporter in the crowd was killed and two more were seriously injured during the attack, the U.S. Secret Service said in a statement.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted on X: “Sara and I were shocked by the apparent attack on President Trump. We pray for his safety and speedy recovery.”
Argentinian President Javier Milei said that Trump has all of his “support and solidarity” after he survived “a COWARDLY assassination attempt that put his life and that of hundreds of people at risk.”
“The desperation of the international left is not surprising, as today it sees its harmful ideology expire, and is willing to destabilize democracies and promote violence to screw itself into power,” he added. “In fear of losing at the polls, they resort to terrorism to impose their retrograde and authoritarian agenda. I hope for the speedy recovery of President Trump and that the elections in the United States are held fairly, peacefully and democratically.”

New British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was “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,” he added.

“The attack on US presidential candidate Donald Trump is despicable,” said German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “I wish him a speedy recovery. My thoughts are also with those who were affected by the attack. Such acts of violence threaten democracy.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was “appalled” by the shooting and that “such violence has no justification and no place anywhere in the world.”
“Never should violence prevail. I am relieved to learn that Donald Trump is now safe and wish him a speedy recovery,” he said. “My condolences go out to the close ones of this attack’s victim, a rally attendee. I extend my wishes for strength to everyone who is horrified by this event. I wish America emerges stronger from this.”
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese posted on X: “The incident at former President Trump’s campaign event in Pennsylvania today is concerning and confronting. There is no place for violence in the democratic process. I am relieved to hear reports that former President Trump is now safe.”
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida posted on X: “We must stand firm against any form of violence that challenges democracy. I pray for former President Trump’s speedy recovery.”
