U.S. presidential candidates wasted little time responding to news today of the deadly terror attacks in Belgium's capital.
Donald Trump tweeted this morning, "Do you all remember how beautiful and safe a place Brussels was. Not anymore, it is from a different world! U.S. must be vigilant and smart!”
Trump also appeared on "Good Morning America" today and called the attacks "horrible."
"I was in Brussels many times over the years. And it used to be a safe and beautiful city. And then it really changed," Trump told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "And I want to tell you, now it's like an armed camp. Anybody that goes there will tell you it's like an armed camp. I'm talking about before this morning's brutal attack. It was a horrible attack. And Brussels is different and Paris is different and lots of places are different. And the police don't have control of it anymore. And it's a very sad thing to see what's happening."
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wrote in a statement posted to Facebook, "Our hearts break for the men and women of Brussels this morning. Make no mistake -- these terror attacks are no isolated incidents.”
"They are just the latest in a string of coordinated attacks by radical Islamic terrorists perpetrated those who are waging war against all who do not accept their extreme strain of Islam," he said.

In a statement released today, Ohio Gov. John Kasich wrote that he wants to "express my solidarity with the people of Belgium" and that he is "sickened by the pictures of the carnage, by the injuries and by the loss of life."
