Australian PM Urges Calm and Unity Following Assassination Attempt on Trump
‘This is a time for unity, it’s a time for calm, it’s a time for allowing the authorities in the United States to do their jobs,’ said Anthony Albanese.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called for calm and unity following the assassination attempt of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
After the incident unfolded, the prime minister warned Australians to exercise caution when reading unverified reports of the assassination and advised them to seek out credible news sources.
“There’s still much that we don’t know about the incident. There’s nothing to be gained from speculating. We don’t know motives, all of these issues,” he told reporters.
“We all need to be on guard against those seeking to use misinformation to create division.
“And this is a time for unity, it’s a time for calm, it’s a time for allowing the authorities in the United States to do their jobs.”
Former President Trump was injured during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13 local time when a bullet fired by a suspected assassin pierced his right ear just 10 minutes after the event started.
