Balla responds to the Democrats about Trump's victory: Rama was among the
Taulant Balla

While in the plenary session the democratic deputy Tritan Shehu was talking about the arrival of Donald Trump in the White House and the fight against left liberalism, Taulant Balla responded by saying that Prime Minister Rama was one of the first to congratulate Trump on his election as the 47th president of the USA -'s.

Balla further said that with Trump, the relations between Albania and the USA will strengthen even more. He himself congratulated John Ratcliffe on his appointment as CIA director.

I don't remember that the Parliament of Albania has made a greeting statement for a president or chancellor, it is a public fact that Prime Minister Rama was among the first in Europe to congratulate President Trump on his remarkable victory. A large number of fellow ministers have done such a thing. After all, it is an important moment. The US president is an important actor in global politics. But in these 102 years of close relations with the USA, we do not forget their role in the creation of the Albanian state. We should also thank the American presidents from 1990, from Bush to Clinton, and then Bush who visited Albania, who supported Albania's membership in NATO, to continue with President Obama, President Trump, President Biden and again President Trump.

I understand colleague Shehu, I heard this from November 2016, December 2016, January 2017, I remember a former leader of Tritan Shehu who went to the inauguration ceremony on January 20. One thing is certain, Albania has strong relations with the USA and these relations will be further strengthened. You have taken them in turn, you have determined the policy that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will follow, referring to his statements as a senator. Some of us have also received other proposals for key positions. I congratulated the new CIA Director John Ratcliffe yesterday. In the new Trump administration, starting with the president and others, there are many people who know Albania very well. An opportunity to strengthen it, as Prime Minister Rama said, that our relations will be further strengthened. Mr. Shehu, you were foreign minister, you know the degradation of relations with the USA.

I am not going into details, you know the reasons. You and your boss today non grata, not only had you broken the moratorium set by NATO, the UN blockade against the Milosevic regime. You had also built a company in the name of DP that smuggled oil contrary to what the UN and the USA had requested. One thing is certain, we also had a dark period when Saliu was the boatman of Enver Hoxha's family boat. The Albanian and American people have developed a strong friendship. And the expression of this was the arrival of Becker in 1991, your attempt to use this moment, and to start to feed expectations. Difficult to try to equalize the non grata of South America, since Mr. Rubio did not agree with the non grata of South America. But I would not like to equate your non women with South America. We are Albanians. In this perspective, at least you still have time to withdraw the logical reasoning that since it was against the non grata of South America, it will be against your non woman. The former minister Beqaj is accused of corruption, why was he a criminal and a thief and your leader with the same accusation was not like that.'
