MICHIGAN, USA: Former U.S. President Donald Trump revealed on Saturday that Chinese President Xi Jinping sent him a note of sympathy following an assassination attempt.
Trump shared this with his supporters at a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, marking his return to the campaign trail after narrowly escaping the attempt on his life on July 13.
“(Xi) wrote me a beautiful note the other day when he heard about what happened,” Trump said. He highlighted this as part of a broader discussion on his economic policies towards China during his presidency, emphasizing his positive relationship with President Xi. “I got along very well with President Xi,” he added, reflecting on their past interactions.
The former president also mentioned receiving messages from other world leaders expressing concern and support after the incident at a rally in Pennsylvania. This outreach from international figures underscores the global attention and diplomatic connections that Trump maintains.
On Thursday, Trump formally accepted the Republican Party’s nomination for the upcoming presidential election on November 5. His ability to draw international sympathy and support following such a dramatic event underscores his continued influence and the high stakes of the upcoming election. The rally in Michigan was not only a demonstration of his resilience but also a reaffirmation of his global connections and the significant diplomatic ties he forged during his presidency.
