The prosecution of the opposition candidate for the presidency of the United States in the 2024 elections, Donald Trump, deprives this country of the right to call for democracy in foreign policy, President Nayib Bukele has said.
On his social media page, Bukele urged readers to imagine what would happen if such a situation occurred in any other country in the world, as the current government pursues the leading presidential candidate. According to him, the Trump lawsuit deprives the United States of the possibility of “talking about democracy” in foreign policy.
Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying documents. The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called the situation around the politician “a Trump incident”.
Earlier it became known that former US President Donald Trump was arrested in the Manhattan prosecutor’s office. The American politician was in custody until charges were brought, after which he was released. Trump pleaded not guilty.
