“In line with the administration’s focus on national sovereignty, the administration will openly comment on the elections only when there is a clear and attractive interest in the US foreign policy to do so,” according to the directives of a new minister Marco Rubio obtained by Fox News Digital obtained by Fox News Digital.
“You should avoid messages to take a look at fairness, the integrity of an electoral process or its legitimacy, or the democratic values of the country concerned.”
The memo, which was reported by the Wall Street Journal for the first time, said that the United States “will hold a company for its democratic values and celebrate these values when other countries choose a similar path”, but it will continue relations as “strategic interests agree”, instead of focusing on values.

Those who write official data are asked to ask themselves, “Does the president say that?”
The US point of view on the elections is closely monitored by opposition groups and human rights activists, and sometimes it determines whether the nation has been punished or granted external aid.
In a speech in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in May, President Donald Trump said that the United States will refrain from informing other countries of how to manage its local affairs, which redirects the policy of the United States that prompted decades in the Middle East.

However, in some cases, Trump had discouraged the affairs of other countries: last week imposed a 50 % tariff on Brazil for the trial of former President Gere Bolsonaro, who accuses public prosecutors of trying to cancel the election results for 2022 in a violent coup plot.
