Trump returns to campaign after second assassination attempt

The Republican candidate for president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has returned to election campaign activities for the first time since a second attempt on his life.

Trump praised on September 17 that "only important presidents are assassinated", as he congratulated his opponent, the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, for the care shown through a phone call, reports AFP.

The former US president was speaking at a rally before fervent supporters in Flint, an industrial town that was once the center of the US auto industry in the swinging Michigan city before factories closed due to foreign competition.

Trump has tried to link what the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) described as a botched assassination attempt on his Florida golf course on Sunday to his pledge to impose high tariffs on imports. of vehicles from Mexico and China.

"And then you wonder why I am attacked with a gun... You know that only important presidents are assassinated", he said.

The Republican candidate has said the man who allegedly tried to kill him was a follower of what he called President Joe Biden's rhetoric and Harris' insistence that Trump is a danger to American democracy. Trump's election rival, the current US vice president, Harris, who campaigned in another swing state, Pennsylvania, said on Tuesday that she had contacted the former president after the foiled attack.

"I talked to him to see how he is. And I told him what I've said publicly - there is no place for political violence in our country," Harris said in an interview with the National Association of Colored Journalists.

The White House has described the Harris-Trump conversation as "cordial and brief." Trump said that Harris "was so good"./ Rel
