The reactions to the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in the USA have had a great impact in the Netherlands . PVV leader Geert Wilders said that ” what happened in America could happen here too” and that hatred towards right-wing politicians is also great in the Netherlands. “Security measures need to be increased”, he said.
Prime Minister Dick Schoof, in his statement on the X platform, said that “it is a consolation that Trump was slightly injured” and wished Trump and his family a speedy recovery.
GroenLinks-PvdA leader Frans Timmermans described the attack as “horrific” and said Trump was only slightly injured. VVD leader Dilan Yeşilgöz said: “It is a huge blow for every democracy, a complete nightmare.”
D66 leader Rob Jetten said the presidential election is now even more tense and hoped American politicians would take responsibility and bring people together.
