Baghdad-INA
US President Joe Biden has called for a “lowering of tensions” after an assassination attempt on his Republican rival, saying the US election would be a “testing period” after Donald Trump was shot.
“I want to talk to you tonight about the need to lower the temperature in our political life,” Biden said in a speech from the Oval Office, stressing that politics should not be “a killing field.”
“We all face a testing time as the election approaches and the higher the stakes, the more emotions run high. No matter how strong our convictions, we must never allow this to descend into violence. It is time to calm down,” he added.
