British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was shocked by the shooting during a media gala dinner in Washington and stressed that he felt immense relief that US President Donald Trump and everyone else present at the event were safe, reported Agence France-Presse, quoted by BTA.
“Any attack on democratic institutions or on media freedom must be condemned in the strongest terms“, Starmer wrote on the social network “Ex“.
The incident in Washington occurs less than 48 hours before the arrival in the United States of Charles III, who is due to make a state visit to the country.
