[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] U.S. President Joe Biden stated that the rejection of former President Donald Trump's impeachment in the Senate served as a reminder that fragile democracy must be protected.

According to foreign media, President Biden said in a statement released on the 13th (local time) after the federal Senate rejected the impeachment of former President Trump, "Although the final vote did not result in a guilty verdict, there is no question about the nature of the charges brought against Trump."

President Biden emphasized, "This sad chapter in our history reminded us that democracy is fragile and must be protected," adding, "We must not be more complacent than ever."

President Biden said, "Violence and extremism have no place in America," and that all Americans, especially national leaders, have the responsibility and duty to uphold the truth and defeat falsehoods.

President Biden added, "That is how we heal the soul of our country," and "This is a task we must all undertake together."

The U.S. federal Senate on the same day acquitted former President Trump in the impeachment trial on charges of incitement of insurrection, with 57 votes for guilty and 43 votes for not guilty, resulting in the rejection of the impeachment.
