JERUSALEM – There is only one story dominating the news at the moment, and the reactions to the “other” shot heard around the world are continuing.

As America grapples with the post-assassination attempt reality – what it means for the upcoming election, as well as the general tenor of what passes for political discourse – WND takes a look at some of the reactions.

North, Central, and South American leaders’ reactions:

Canada’s Pierre Poilievre, who leads a Conservative Party seemingly making increasingly significant gains against the country’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, took to X to decry the incident. His tweet garnered some 77,000 likes.

Meanwhile, the Canadian PM’s official X account could only muster fewer than 650 likes for a response from Trudeau.

Argentina’s President Javier Milei – whose government recently declared Hamas a terrorist organization and who is also pushing for more urgent investigation into the Iranian-funded bombing of Buenos Aires’ Jewish community center in 1994 – tweeted his contempt for international leftist ideology.

Brazil’s former right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro tweeted a simple message, including “Our solidarity is with the world’s greatest leader at the moment.”

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele released a strongly worded statement on X, roundly condemning the assassination attempt.

European leaders’ response:

Britain’s newly minted Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer took to X to express his shock at the assassination attempt. “I am appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump’s rally and we send him and his family our best wishes.”

French President Emmanuel Macron decried the attempt on Trump’s life, referring to it as “a tragedy for our democracies. France shares the shock and indignation of the American people.”

Dutch politician Geert Wilders, leader of the country’s Party of Freedom, took to X to highlight the fact right-wing lawmakers of different stripes and in various countries face similar dangers to Trump. He also posted the iconic image of a bloodied but unbowed 45th president of the United States with a clenched fist and the Stars and Stripes fluttering in the background with the simple line “President Trump.”

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbàn expressed his “thoughts and prayers” for President Trump.
