Albania's PM Urges US Democrats Not to Use Country for Revenge Against Trump

Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama has issued a message to US Democrats, urging them not to use his country as leverage in efforts to retaliate against President Donald Trump. The appeal comes amid growing controversy surrounding a resort development in Albania linked to Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser.

The project has already triggered public opposition inside Albania, and the controversy has spilled onto social media. Meta has blocked dozens of Instagram accounts belonging to people who spoke out against the resort project. Those affected say they broke no platform rules, yet received copyright infringement notices over content they had filmed or created themselves.

Rama's appeal suggests concern that Kushner's business ties to Albania could be drawn into the broader partisan confrontation between Democrats and Trump in Washington. By speaking out, the Albanian leader appears to be trying to keep his country out of US domestic political disputes, distancing Tirana from any attempt to use the Kushner project as a point of leverage against the former president.

According to Politico, the dispute over the resort project and the related account suspensions continue to draw attention, reflecting wider scrutiny in American political circles of Kushner's business dealings abroad.
