Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wrote, "The attack against former President Donald Trump must be vehemently repudiated by all defenders of democracy and dialogue in politics. What we saw today is unacceptable," according to a translation.
Argentinian President Javier Milei wrote that all of his "support and solidarity" were with Trump, calling him the "victim of a COWARDLY assassination attempt that put his life and that of hundreds of people at risk."
"The desperation of the international left is not surprising, as today it sees its harmful ideology expire, and is willing to destabilize democracies and promote violence to screw itself into power," Milei wrote, according to a translation. "In fear of losing at the polls, they resort to terrorism to impose their retrograde and authoritarian agenda.""I hope for a speedy recovery of President Trump and that the elections in the United States are held fairly, peacefully and democratically," he added.
