Buckingham Palace has confirmed that British King Charles III wrote a personal letter to former US President Donald Trump after he survived an assassination attempt, UNN reports citing the BBC.
Details
The message, as indicated, was delivered on Sunday through the British Embassy in Washington.
The content of the letter was not made public, but the BBC reportedly understands that the sentiment is in line with that of the country's prime minister over the weekend.
Trump survived the shooting while speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was "stunned" by the attack. During a conversation with the former US president on Sunday afternoon, Starmer is believed to have expressed his condolences to the victims and their families and wished Trump and the victims a speedy recovery.
Addendum
The former US president was shot in the ear when a gunman opened fire at a rally in Pennsylvania.
One person was killed and two were seriously injured. The alleged shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot dead on the spot.
In 2019, while still the Prince of Wales, Charles hosted then-President Trump and his wife Melania for afternoon tea at Clarence House during the NATO summit in London.
The late Queen Elizabeth hosted a state banquet in Trump's honor during a state visit to the UK earlier that year.
