World leaders relieved after Trump safe

World leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressed relief on Sunday that US President Donald Trump and his top officials were unharmed following the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
“Relieved to learn that President Trump, the First Lady and Vice President are safe and unharmed following the recent security incident at a Washington DC hotel. I extend my best wishes for their continued safety and well-being. Violence has no place in a democracy and must be unequivocally condemned,” PM Modi said in a post on social media.
Expressing shock at the incident, British PM Keir Starmer said that any attack on democratic institutions must be condemned. “I am shocked by the scenes at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington overnight. Any attack on democratic institutions or on the freedom of the press must be condemned in the strongest possible terms,” he posted on X.
French President Emmanuel Macron extended his full support to Trump, calling the attack unacceptable. “The armed attack targeting the President of the United States last night is unacceptable. Violence has no place in a democracy. I extend my full support to Donald Trump,” he posted on social media.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed “full solidarity and most sincere closeness to President Trump, to First Lady Melania, to Vice President Vance” following the incident.
“No political hatred can find space in our democracies. We will not allow fanaticism to poison the places of free debate and information. The defence of the culture of confrontation must remain the insurmountable bulwark against every intolerant drift, to safeguard the values that found our Nations,” she posted on social media.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney described the shooting incident as a “disturbing event”. “I am relieved that the President, the First Lady, and all guests are safe following reports of gunfire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington tonight. Political violence has no place in any democracy, and my thoughts are with all those who have been shaken by this disturbing event,” Carney said in a social media post.
