World leaders condemn Capitol Hill siege

Leaders across the world reacted to the unprecedented scenes in the US on Wednesday where a violent mob loyal to President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol and forced lawmakers into hiding. The nation’s elected representatives scrambled to crouch under desks and don gas masks, while police futilely tried to barricade the building, one of the most jarring scenes ever to unfold in a seat of American political power. The incident was a stunning attempt to overturn America’s presidential election.
