Trump makes first public appearance since assassination attempt
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has made his first public appearance since an assassination attempt, appearing at the Republican National Convention with a bandage over his right ear.
Mr Trump, confirmed as the Republican presidential candidate earlier on Monday, entered the convention to a standing ovation.
He then posed on stage with his vice-presidential running mate, JD Vance.
It was Trump’s first public appearance since a campaign event in Pennsylvania on Saturday, where a shooter was able to climb to an elevated position with an assault rifle.
The shooter fired several shots at Trump, causing panic to break out in the audience.
Mr Trump, wounded in the ear and left bleeding, struck a defiant tone as he pumped his fist while being whisked off the stage.
