President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa made a harsh statement about US President Donald Trump. In his opinion, the American leader is “objectively a Soviet or Russian agent,” reports Euronews.

“The supreme leader of the world’s largest superpower is objectively a Soviet or Russian asset,” said de Sousa on August 27 during a speech in Castelo de Vide.

Trump’s efforts to present himself as the main mediator in reconciling Ukraine and Russia did not make a good impression on the Portuguese president. De Sousa noted that Trump’s attempts to “settle” the war were not beneficial for Ukraine.

    You may be saying “we’ve known this all along”, but remember: this is Portugal’s top diplomat; it takes a lot of guts to say this, considering that Trump is especially vindictive. Also, Marcelo has already won a handshake battle (video in Portuguese) against Trump in 2017, LOL.
