Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social that the Secret Service, which is responsible for protecting US leaders, election candidates and other top officials, has agreed to "substantially step up" its operations. "They are very capable of doing so. No one can ever be allowed to stop or impede free speech or gathering!!!" he posted.

The motive for the attack has still not been established. Trump has not held an outdoor rally since 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks tried to kill him from a roof.
