Prince Albert of Monaco has expressed disappointment over the violent riots in the US Capitol and said President Donald Trump should be "held accountable" for spurring a revolt.
The reigning monarch of Monaco, who spent a part of his childhood in the US, said he was "shocked" into disbelief when he saw the violent riots at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, which has led to four deaths. A mob of Trump supporters had stormed the Capitol building when the lawmakers were certifying Joe Biden's win in the recent presidential elections. The breach came after the outgoing president addressed a crowd of his supporters at a rally near the White House encouraging them to go to the Congress and voice their anger "peacefully and patriotically."
