Trump says he’ll ‘bring country together’ at Republican convention after shooting

International

Donald Trump says he will “bring the country together” at the Republican convention this week, after surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday.

The former president will give a “whole different speech” on Thursday, in a change from the “humdinger” he had planned.

On Sunday night, President Biden gave a televised address, where he called for the “temperature of politics” to be lowered.

“Politics must never be a literal battlefield, God forbid a killing field,” he said.

The man who tried to kill Trump – Thomas Crooks, 20 – was shot and killed by the Secret Service but his motive remains unknown.
