Trump, Merkel, Macron, and other world leaders respond to Sri Lanka bombings
President Donald Trump and other world leaders responded Sunday morning to the series of bombing attacks at churces and hotels in Sri Lanka that have left scores of dead and hundreds injured.
The Guardian noted that Trump had issued a slightly different tweet minutes earlier, though that was deleted without explanation and replaced with the above message. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan described the attacks as"an assault on all of humanity. On behalf of the Turkish people, I offer my condolences to the families of the victims and the people of #SriLanka, and wish a speedy recovery to the injured."
President Jean-Claude Juncker of the European Commission wrote:"It was with horror and sadness that I heard of the bombings in #SriLanka costing the lives of so many people. I offer my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims who had gathered to worship peacefully or come to visit this beautiful country. We stand ready to support."
