Politicians react to second assassination attempt on Trump
American and Russian politicians reacted to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump on September 15. Current US President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris expressed their opposition to any violence taking place in the country. Kamala Harris in her microblog X thanked the Secret Service agents for foiling the assassination attempt.
I am deeply troubled by the attempted assassination of former President Trump. I condemn political violence. Each of us must do everything we can to prevent these incidents from leading to more violence.
I thank the U.S. Secret Service and law enforcement partners for their vigilance. As President Biden said, our administration will make sure the Secret Service has all the resources it needs to fulfill its important mission.
The Kremlin also commented on the assassination attempt. Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that they do not interfere in any way in the events taking place in the United States.
This is not really our business. Of course, we are closely following the information coming from the US. We see a tense situation there. We follow it closely, but we have never interfered in any way and we are not interfering now.
According to a number of sources, Ryan Root, who is accused of the assassination attempt, is a pro-Ukrainian figure. Journalists also asked Peskov about the suspect.
Playing with fire has its consequences, so first of all this should cause great anxiety and headaches for the US intelligence services, – Dmitry Peskov said.
