Following the shooting at a Donald Trump campaign rally, European leaders, including Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, expressed shock and condemnation.

The shooting occurred less than four months before the November 5 US election, where Trump, the Republican candidate, faces a rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden.

Mitsotakis condemned the attack on a post on platform X, formerly known as Twitter, stating, “Appalled by the attack on former President Trump. Political violence is unacceptable in our democratic societies. Wishing him a full and swift recovery. We also extend our heartfelt sympathies to the families of the bystanders who lost their lives or were injured in the attack.”
