Leaders and citizens around the world reacted with alarm to images of a mob supporting President Trump forcing its way into the US Capitol, calling it a horrific development in one of the world’s most stable democracies.From Europe to Latin America and Asia, politicians, citizens and dignitaries witnessed with shock and even with disbelief, as pro-Trump protesters forced their way past guards and into the building, halting debate over the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College win.In Europe, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas was quick to condemn the actions of the mob, pleading Mr. Trump and his allies, in a Twitter post, to “stop trampling democracy with their feet” and accept the result of the election.
