UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has described scenes in Washington, DC — where rioters have breached the US Capitol — as “disgraceful,” calling for a peaceful transfer of power.
"Disgraceful scenes in U.S. Congress,” Johnson tweeted Wednesday.
“The United States stands for democracy around the world and it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power,” he added.
Earlier on Wednesday, UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the British government has “full confidence” that the US checks and balances system will ensure that the outcome of the election is “properly decided, determined and then respected.”
