US President Joe Biden on Sunday (July 14) appealed to the people of the country not to “make assumptions” about the motive or affiliations of the shooter who shot at his predecessor Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania a day before, in which he received injury in his right ear. Biden called upon the Americans to “unite as one nation” after the attempted assassination of the Republican presidential election candidate. The FBI, as well, informed that they are investigating Saturday’s attack as a potential “domestic terrorism” act.
Biden delivered a short afternoon address to the nation from the White House after receiving a briefing on the investigation in the Situation Room. He ordered an independent security review of how an attack of this magnitude could have happened.
