"Chile rejects the actions destined to alter the democratic process in the US and condemns violence and improper interference of the constitutional institutions," said President Sebastian Pinera.
Chancellor Andres Allamand also took to Twitter to express the nation's discontent.
"The acts of violence in the Capitol are unacceptable and are an attempt against US democracy," he said.
He also expressed his support for Biden.
"The capacity of the American people and the leadership of Joe Biden will bring back peace and the Rule of Law and its institutional structure,” he added.
Colombian President Ivan Duque wrote a solidarity message in English on his Twitter account.
"Colombia has full confidence in the stability of the institutions of the United States of America as well as its respect for democracy and the rule of law, values shared by our countries since the beginning of our republic.
"We reject the acts of violence seen today during the Electoral College vote counting in the United States Congress, and I express my solidarity and support for the honorable members of Congress and to all US institutions," he said....etc
