WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump congratulated Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis on taking office, saying he expects “incredible things” from the fellow billionaire.
Babis’s government was sworn in on Monday after forming an alliance with two euroskeptic right-wing parties.
“It is great to see Andrej Babis appointed again as Prime Minister of the Czech Republic,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
He stated they would again achieve success on defence, energy, and illegal immigration as in their first terms.
Trump and Babis both previously led their NATO-member countries from 2017 to 2021.
“Andrej knows how to get Deals done, and I expected incredible things from him, including on F-35s,” Trump said, referring to the US-made stealth fighter jet. – AFP
