Analyst Fatos Lubonja, invited to the "Open" studio on News24, commented on the return of Donald Trump to the White House. Lubonja emphasized that Trump's return could bring significant risks to democracy, both in the United States and in other countries of the world. Lubonja pointed out that Prime Minister Edi Rama made a statement in the past calling Trump a "danger to the world", and, according to the analyst, now Rama has the obligation to clarify what he said. "Rama has said that Trump is a danger to the world, now he has the obligation to clarify that statement," Lubonja said, adding that there are concerns about the dangers that Trump's return could bring. He also mentioned the concerns that the American public has expressed about how Trump can influence the domestic and foreign policy of the US and other countries. Lubonja emphasized that one of the reasons that Trump can be a danger is his tendency for authoritarianism. "Trump is an authoritarian leader who does not believe in democracy, but is a strong executive and becomes dangerous in America," the analyst said. He criticized Trump's approach to the war in Ukraine, stressing that Trump, apart from proposing an agreement with Putin to "resolve" the conflict, does not see it as an issue that should be resolved through democratic institutions. Lubonja called this approach of Trump "threatening for Europe", stressing that such a model can encourage other authoritarian leaders, including, according to him, Prime Minister Rama. "This model that threatens Europe is encouraging for the man we have in power, who will still stay in power," he added.
