Boris Johnson has praised Donald Trump for his resilience and leadership following an assassination attempt, declaring the former president to be on "superb form" at the Republican National Convention.

Johnson and Trump met and discussed various issues, including Ukraine, and posed for a photograph before Trump, with a bandage on his ear, appeared at the convention, as the Daily Mail reports.

Johnson, the former prime minister of the United Kingdom, attended the convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The event marked an important moment in U.S. politics, bringing together key figures from both the American and international scenes.

During their meeting, Johnson and Trump reportedly engaged in a discussion about the situation in Ukraine. Johnson expressed confidence in Trump's ability to provide the strong and decisive leadership necessary to protect democracy against aggression.

Johnson emphasized Trump's leadership qualities, stating, "It was great to see President Trump, who is on superb form following the appalling attempt on his life. I noted the courage, resilience and sheer indomitability with which he has responded."

In addition to his meeting with Trump, Johnson participated in a panel discussion on the U.K. and U.S. elections with former White House adviser Kellyanne Conway. The panel provided insights into the political climates of both nations, highlighting the ongoing importance of collaborative dialogue.

Former Prime Minister Liz Truss also attended the convention. However, unlike Johnson, she did not secure an audience with Trump. Despite this, Truss publicly supported Trump's nomination, describing him as the "leadership the West needs."

Trump, who survived the assassination attempt, explained his actions during the chaotic scene in an interview with the Washington Examiner. He emphasized the importance of projecting strength to the world, noting, "The energy coming from the people there in that moment, they just stood there. It's hard to describe what that felt like, but I knew the world was looking, I knew that history would judge this and I knew I had to let them know we are OK."

Convention Highlights and Ongoing Campaign

Trump's team announced that he would address another campaign rally the following Saturday, continuing his bid for the presidency. The Republican National Convention, with Trump officially as its presidential nominee and U.S. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate, was in its second day.

Despite the severe circumstances of the assassination attempt, Trump has displayed remarkable fortitude, which was evident in his quick recovery and presence at the RNC. Johnson highlighted this resilience in his social media statement, which featured a photograph of him alongside Trump.

"We discussed Ukraine at length and I know that he will give the strong and decisive leadership necessary to protect democracy against aggression," Johnson’s statement continued, reflecting on their conversation.

The photograph, shared widely on social media, depicted Trump with a bandage on his right ear, symbolizing his ongoing recovery and unwavering commitment to his campaign.

Support From International Allies

Truss’s attendance and public endorsement of Trump further illustrated the international interest in the U.S. elections. "It was 'great' to see Trump 'get nominated' and that he is the 'leadership the West needs,'" Truss remarked, showing her support for his candidacy.

As the RNC progresses, Trump's actions and resilience continue to capture global attention, emphasizing his significant role within the Republican Party and the broader political landscape.

In conclusion, the Republican National Convention has showcased key moments of solidarity and support for Donald Trump following the assassination attempt.

Boris Johnson’s remarks on Trump's resilience, their discussion on Ukraine, and the presence of notable figures such as Liz Truss and Nigel Farage highlight the international significance of the event.
