The storming of the US Congress by Trump supporters on Wednesday sent shockwaves around the globe.
World leaders reacted with disbelief and horror at the violent attempt to overthrow the will of the American people by storming the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., the iconic center of the biggest democracy in the world.
Four people were killed and scores injured during clashes between demonstrators and security forces. A woman was shot dead by police and three others died of “medical emergencies”, police say.
The violence erupted after Trump spoke to protesters to repeat his false claim that he won the US election in November.
“Shocking” and “disgraceful”
World leaders around the world reacted with concern online, describing the chaotic scenes as “shocking” and “disgraceful.”
Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis said he was “extremely troubled by the violence.”
