President Donald Trump issued a statement Friday morning in response to the murder of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
"Really BAD NEWS FOR THE WORLD! Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is dead. He was assassinated. His killer was captured and will hopefully be dealt with swiftly and harshly. Few people know what a great man and leader Shinzo Abe was, but history will teach them and be kind. He was a unifier like no other, but above all, he was a man who loved and cherished his magnificent country, Japan. Shinzo Abe will be greatly missed. There will never be another like him!” Trump said on Truth Social.
Former White House senior presidential advisor Ivanka Trump and son Eric Trump also weighed in with series of photos.
"I am deeply saddened by the death of Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a truly historic figure and leader of lasting consequence. Abe’s advice, wisdom and warmth had a profound impact on me during my government service. My heart is with his family and the Japanese people as the world mourns the passing of a great man," Ivanka Trump posted on her social media accounts.
