Trump to call for unity during Republican convention speech

Jan. 15, 2024

In the wake of the assassination attempt on the former president Donald Trump, he scrapped plans to talk about how bad the current U.S. administration is at the Republican National Convention.

‘‘I had all prepared an extremely tough speech about the corrupt and horrible administration, but I threw it away’’ he told the tabloid New York Post in an interview published late Sunday.

Trump said he now wants to speak at the Republican Party convention in favour of overcoming the political divide in the country.

‘I want to try to unite our country, but I don’t know if that’s possible. People are much divided’’ Trump said ahead of the four-day convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he would be officially nominated on Thursday as the Republican presidential nominee.

An assassination attempt on Saturday left Trump with an injured ear. (dpa/MAINSTREAM ng)
