World leaders are outraged by the storming of the U.S Capitol by President Donald Trump’s supporters on Wednesday, and have condemned the act.

“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 horrified at what they described as an attack on American democracy. Some harshly criticized Trump.

“Trump and his supporters should finally accept the decision of the American voters and stop trampling on democracy,” German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas wrote on Twitter. He said that “from inflammatory words come violent deeds” and added that “contempt for democratic institutions has disastrous effects.”

Leader of one of the largest legislatures in the world, European Parliament President David Sassoli, also condemned the scenes at the Capitol. While the Trump administration spelt nothing but difficulty for the European Union, top officials eagerly await Biden’s take over.

“American democracy is under siege; the election results must be fully respected,” EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell also underlined.

“This is insurrection. Nothing less. In Washington,” tweeted Carl Bildt, a former prime minister of Sweden.

United States’ NATO ally Turkey also vented their concern over the scenes of angry Republicans surging into the Capitol to impede the certification of Biden as the new president. The pandemonium forced lawmakers to be rushed from the building.

A Turkish Foreign Ministry statement urged all parties in the United States to use “moderation and common sense.”

“We believe that the United States will overcome this domestic political crisis with maturity,” the ministry said.

The ministry statement encouraged Turkish citizens residing in the United States to stay away from crowds and public demonstrations.

Trump issued an unemotional call for peace well after the scuffle was underway but did not implore supporters to disperse.
