Kryeministri Rama: “Është shqetësuese të shohësh që një kandidat për President të Shteteve të Bashkuara të qëllohet gjatë një tubimi dhe të dëgjosh se një pjesëmarrës ka vdekur dhe disa të tjerë kanë mbetur të plagosur. Kjo është një tragjedi për botën demokratike. Mendimet e mia shkojnë për ish-presidentin Trump dhe familjen e tij. Ne të gjithë shpresojmë se kjo ngjarje e tmerrshme do të bashkojë Amerikën dhe të gjithë njerëzit e botës demokratike kundër të gjitha formave të dhunës.”

The former chairman of the DP, Sali Berisha: "Dear friends, last night a criminal hand fired a series of shots in an attempt to kill President Donald Trump. This heinous criminal act occurred during his speech at an election meeting in Butler, Pennsylvania. From the shooting, President Trump was injured, but his life is out of danger, and one rally participant was killed and two others were seriously injured. The assassin, identified as Thomas Mattheu Crooks, 20, was killed by the Secret Service. I condemn with the greatest severity this hateful criminal act against President Donald Trump as an act that seeks to define and defeat the free will of US citizens with assassinations, political murders in the electoral campaign. On this occasion, I express to him and his family and the Republican Party, my most complete solidarity and that of the Democratic Party of Albania, and I pray for his speedy and complete recovery. I wish that anyone who may be implicated in this heinous act of terrorism is found and given the strictest legal punishment."
