Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has expressed relief that former U.S. President Donald Trump is doing well after a bullet pierced his right ear in what FBI officials said was an assassination attempt.

“The incident at former President Trump’s campaign event in Pennsylvania today is concerning and confronting. There is no place for violence in the democratic process,” Mr. Albanese wrote on X on Sunday morning local time in Australia about the shooting in the United States on Saturday night.
