King Sends Letter To Donald Trump

King Felipe sent a letter to former U.S. President Donald Trump after the latter survived an assassination attempt Saturday.

The King expressed relief Trump’s injuries were minor and condemned violence, particularly directed at democratic values.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia visited Trump during his presidency. They were scheduled to attend a state visit but it was cancelled because of the pandemic.

Princess Leonor Makes First Foreign Visit

Leonor, the Princess of Asturias, made her first official visit as heir to the Spanish throne to Portugal Friday.
