Prime Minister Edi Rama commented on "Off the Record" on A2 CNN about his change of stance on Donald Trump, whom he once said would be a disaster for the entire world if elected president.
"I made that statement about the presidential candidate. Then he became president of the United States. I had the opportunity to know him, I followed him as everyone followed him. There is no doubt that I respect him as president of the United States," Rama said.
What did Rama say about Trump in 2016?
Far be it! I believe it would be very damaging to the United States and very damaging to the democratic world, because at the end of the day he would have to do some of the things he is saying he will do and without a doubt, that would be very damaging. I also hope that in the meantime he will be able to learn more about the world, learn more about Muslims, learn more about how there are many people, regardless of their faith or ethnicity, who proudly live by the values that America represents and defend these values, even through the sacrifice of their children, in the wars they fight alongside America.

What did Rama say about Trump in March 2025?
Perhaps, God saved Donald Trump's life not only to make America great again, but also to finally wake up Europe and make it understand that it cannot continue as if the world were the same, because it is not the same.
