Reaction from around the world to the storming of the US Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump: “American democracy is obviously limping on both feet..This, alas, is actually the bottom. I say this without a shadow of gloating. America no longer charts a course and therefore has lost all rights to set it and even more so to impose it on others. Konstantin Kosachev, head of the foreign affairs committee in Russia’s upper house of parliament. Disgraceful scenes in US Congress. 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. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Reaction from around the world to the storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel
“A fundamental rule of democracy is that, after elections, there are winners and losers. Both have to play their role with decency and responsibility so that democracy itself remains the winner. . President Trump regrettably has not conceded his defeat since November, and didn’t yesterday either, and of course that has prepared the atmosphere in which such events, such violent events, are possible.” - German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
