Former US President Donald Trump has already secured a victory in the upcoming presidential election, according to Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, who made this statement on Monday.

"He has certainly won. Only if he is not assassinated," Medvedev posted on his X social network account, along with a picture of Trump from his formal arrest in August 2023.

Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement following Donald Trump assassination attempt, "Those who vote in the United States for the supply of weapons to Ukraine, maybe it is better to use this money to finance the American police and other services that are supposed to ensure law and order within the United States?"

On July 13, Trump survived an assassination attempt during his campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The Republican candidate for White House was wounded, suffering a minor injury as the bullet pierced his right ear. He is now safe and back to campaigning in Presidential race.

The incident resulted in one fatality and two injuries. The shooter was neutralized by US Secret Service officers, who are tasked with protecting high-ranking officials.

The FBI is investigating the shooting at Trump’s rally as a potential domestic terrorism attack and assassination attempt.
