President Yoon Suk Yeol said Sunday he was shocked by an assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump, denouncing the attack as "horrible political violence" and wishing him a quick recovery. "I am appalled by the horrible political violence. I wish former President Trump a speedy recovery," Yoon wrote in English on his official X page. "The people of Korea stand in solidarity with the people of America." Trump, the Republican presidential candidate pursuing his second term, suffered a gunshot wound in his right ear during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday (U.S. time). The Federal Bureau of Investigation has said it will treat the shooting as "an assassination attempt" against Trump. Source: Yonhap News Agency
