Shares in Donald Trump’s media company surged by about a third to reach their highest value in five weeks after the attempted assassination of the former US president, adding about $2bn (£1.5bn) to the valuation of the business behind the X rival Truth Social.

However, after Saturday night’s attack increased Trump’s perceived chances of winning November’s presidential election, traders pushed the share price back to the highest level since 10 June.
