Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has expressed concern after US presidential candidate Donald Trump was targeted in another assassination attempt. Multiple gun shots were fired while Mr Trump was playing golf on Sunday (US) at his course in West Palm Beach in Florida The person fled in an SUV and was later apprehended in a nearby county by local law enforcement, local officials said. Speaking from Parliament House in Canberra, Mr Albanese said the incident was concerning.
“Everyone wants the democratic process to be peaceful and to be orderly,” Mr Albanese said. “This incident in the United States is of concern. “Again, it is good that President Trump has said that he is safe.
It’s not quite clear all of those details (on the incident) but what is clear is that President Trump is safe.” The attempted assassination comes after Mr Trump was shot at during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13. Mr Albanese will this week travel to the US for a Quad leaders’ summit, which will include talks with US president Joe Biden.
At this stage, a meeting with Mr Trump or Vice President and Democrat candidate Kamala Harris appears unlikely..
