Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, U.S. President Joe Biden, and South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo were among the world leaders paying their condolences to former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated Friday as he was giving a campaign speech in Nara, Japan.
Trudeau said he knew Abe as a “compassionate, strong leader who understood the importance of service, understood the importance of building a better world.” He also called the incident “horrifically disturbing.”
Biden said Japan was a “very, very stable ally,” and that he would stop to sign the condolence book at the Japanese embassy in Washington, D.C. later on Friday.
