10 reactions to Japan’s Shinzo Abe assassination: Biden ‘stunned,’ Trump calls it ‘bad news for the world’
Former President Donald Trump
In a statement released on Truth Social, a social media platform created by Trump Media & Technology Group, former President Donald Trump said Abe was a great leader and a "unifier" who will be missed.
"Really BAD NEWS FOR THE WORLD! Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is dead. He was assassinated. His killer was captured and will hopefully be dealt with swiftly and harshly," Trump wrote.
"Few people know what a great man and leader Shinzo Abe was, but history will teach them and be kind. He was a unifier like no other, but above all, he was a man who loved and cherished his magnificent country, Japan. Shinzo Abe will be greatly missed. There will never be another like him!"
