Malta’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ian Borg, has shared his thoughts on former US President Donald Trump’s foreign policy, stating that Trump is “doing what he promised” during his election campaign. This assertion suggests that Borg believes Trump has remained true to his word, implementing policies that align with his campaign promises, regardless of the controversy surrounding them.
Borg’s comments were made during an appearance on national television, where he also touched on Trump’s stance on the war in Ukraine and his claims of being able to broker a deal with Russia. While Borg did not explicitly endorse Trump’s foreign policy, his statement implies that he acknowledges the former president’s commitment to his campaign promises.
It is worth noting that Borg’s remarks also highlighted the complexity of European Union member states’ reactions to Trump’s policies, stating that “we have 27 different opinions”. This comment underscores the challenges faced by the EU in presenting a unified front in response to Trump’s unconventional approach to foreign policy.
