American president Joe Biden has condemned the recent assassination attempt on his Republican rival Donald Trump, calling on Americans to unite and ordered a thorough review of security at the area in which the incident took place.

Biden said he would address the American people on Sunday night on the topic of the need for unity. “Unity is the most elusive goal of all but nothing is more important than that right now – unity.” He went on to make a statement about disagreements and how that shouldn’t deter them from who they are as people. Biden expressed his relief at Trump’s well-being after their short conversation on Sunday night, saying how grateful he is for his recovery. He has also said that he had ordered a review of security on top of questions about how the shooter got into position to launch his attack.

He has said that there is no place in America for this kind of violence and any type of violence in general, stating that “An assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for […] as a nation – everything.”
