Leaders around the world condemned the storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump on Wednesday, expressing shock at the chaos unfolding in a country they once relied upon for global leadership.“Disgraceful scenes in US Congress," tweeted Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain, a staunch ally of the United States over generations. “The United States stands for democracy around the world and it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power.”Other European allies were similarly appalled at what they described as an attack on American democracy.
Some singled out Trump for harsh criticism.“Trump and his supporters should finally accept the decision of the American voters and stop trampling.
