Donald Trump has declared that Shinzo Abe's killer must be dealt with 'swiftly and harshly' as world figures voiced their shock over the former Japanese PM's death today.

Trump said his assassination is 'Really BAD NEWS FOR THE WORLD!' after Japan's longest serving PM was shot to death while delivering a campaign speech in the city of Nara in western Japan.

Trump crowned Abe a 'unifier like no other [...] who loved and cherished his magnificent country. Abe will be 'greatly missed' according to the former president who called him a 'true friend of mine'.

Tributes from more world leaders have poured in following the tragic announcement after doctors spent hours desperately trying to save Abe who was shot in the neck and heart.

British PM, Boris Johnson expressed his dismay on Twitter and praised Abe's 'global leadership through unchartered times'.

'Incredibly sad news about Shinzo Abe,' Johnson said on Twitter.

'His global leadership through unchartered times will be remembered by many. My thoughts are with his family, friends and the Japanese people.'

'The UK stands with you at this dark and sad time.'

Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, shared his 'deepest condolences' after the 'heinous act of violence'.

'Horrible news of a brutal assassination of former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe. I am extending my deepest condolences to his family and the people of Japan at this difficult time. This heinous act of violence has no excuse.'

Once again Trump is leading the world and other world leaders, as it should be. It’s comforting.

Thank God Trump is still around to say the right things.

Once they get all the info they can he will take a dirt nap. In Japan once sentenced they don’t give a execution date. They are told less than 24 hours before they are executed.

While all the leaders from Europe, Canada and Latin American were still clutching their pearls, Shinzo Abe was the first World leader to pay an official visit to The White House to meet with President Trump.

Trump should quadruple his security as he is the person most dangerous to the New World Order.
