China’s President Xi Jinping expressed his "compassion and sympathy" in a brief official statement and urged the world to reject violence as a political solution.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's office also said it "strongly condemns any forms of political violence," and expressed its condolences to the family of the spectator who was killed in the shooting, according to official media. The statement noted that Putin does not intend to call Trump, however.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said on social media platform X that it was “distressing” to witness Trump being shot while speaking at a rally and to hear an attendee had died. “This is a tragedy for the democratic world” he said.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban said his “thoughts and prayers” were with Trump “in these dark hours”. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the shooting as “concerning and confronting” expressing his relief that Trump was safe. Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer said on social media platform X that he was appalled by the attempt. “Political violence has no place in our society! My thoughts are with all the victims of this attack!” he said. President Gabriel Boric expressed his “unqualified condemnation” of the shooting. “Violence is a threat to democracies and weakens our life together. We must all reject it,” said Boric. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also spoke out against political attacks, saying, “We must stand firm against any form of violence that challenges democracy.” He wrote on X, “I pray for President Trump’s speedy recovery.”

Biden’s anti-Trump claims have rightfully led critics to question whether this heavily partisan rhetoric has incited violence against Trump. The scandal-plagued Biden campaign has pulled all its ads against former President Donald Trump after he was nearly killed by a shooter on Saturday. Joe Biden is “pausing all outbound communications and working to pull down our television ads as quickly as possible,” a campaign official told The Wall Street Journal on Sunday morning.
