Insurrection, chaos, siege, storm, invasion, an attack to democracy… Newspapers in the United States and around the world expressed shock after supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump breached the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, angry at what they considered to be a rigged election. Unprecedented scenes of violence led to the death of four people and the arrest of least 52. Early Thursday morning, Congress formally confirmed Joe Biden’s victory.
