Donald Trump says he has changed his upcoming speech to the Republican National Convention after the attempt on his life.

The former president arrived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for the convention a day after gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at him from a roof during a campaign rally.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner during a flight on Saturday evening, Trump said: "The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger.

"Had [the assassination attempt] not happened, this would've been one of the most incredible speeches" aimed mostly at the policies of President Joe Biden, he said.

"Honestly, it's going to be a whole different speech now" and will be a message of unity for the country and world, according to Trump.
His plane landed at Milwaukee airport on Sunday evening. He raised a fist on the stairs before travelling in his motorcade, cheered on by supporters, to a hotel.
