I sincerely congratulate President Trump on his historic inauguration, his entire government, and the American people on this truly great day for their democracy.
I salute President Trump’s resilience, commitment, and fighting spirit. He has survived assassination attempts, political persecution, and years of personal attacks, but he triumphed in the end.
The previous administration in the United States has been a disaster for the American people and the world. They focused on pushing a woke, extreme left-wing agenda that offended basic common sense and morality, overturned the norms of civilized public life, disoriented and mutilated children, censored and canceled dissenting views, disparaged religious and conservative values, fueled wars around the world, weaponized the judicial system against political opponents and increased nepotism, corruption, crime, poverty, homelessness and wealth inequality.
I carefully noted President Trump’s inaugural speech. The list of executive orders he announced was faithful to his campaign promises, which was the basis of his comprehensive electoral victory.
I anticipate significant and dramatic changes in international cooperation, diplomacy, foreign affairs, and bilateral relations. I look forward to the return of meritocracy, excellence and intelligence as a standard criterion for accessing equal opportunities.
The peoples of Trinidad and Tobago and the United States of America have profound and essential connections at many levels, and our futures are inevitably intertwined. President Trump is the leader America needs right now, and I wish him and his Government God’s richest blessings and guidance in all their actions for the greater good of America and the rest of the world.
I wish President Trump and the American people every success in the next four years.
