Donald Trump will travel to the Republican National Convention on Sunday as he originally planned despite an assassination attempt, as he insisted people must remain “defiant in the face of wickedness”.

“Based on yesterday’s terrible events, I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin, and The Republican National Convention, by two days,” the former US president wrote on his Truth Social platform.
