Milei blames 'international left' for 'cowardly' Trump assassination attempt
TODAY 09:35
Argentina's President Javier Milei has blamed the "international left" after an assassination attempt Saturday targeting former US president Donald Trump.
"The desperation of the international left, which today sees its nefarious ideology expiring, is not surprising, and is ready to destabilise democracies and promote violence to screw itself to power.
"In panic of losing at the polls, they resort to terrorism to impose their backward and authoritarian agenda," the ultra-liberal president wrote on the X social network.

Milei said Trump had been the target of a cowardly assassination attempt and offered his support and solidarity in the post on X.
"I hope for President Trump's speedy recovery and that the elections in the United States are conducted in a fair, peaceful and democratic manner," he added.
