Albanian PM urges US Democrats not to use country for revenge against Trump

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has publicly addressed members of the US Democratic Party, urging them not to use Albania as leverage in political retaliation against President Donald Trump. His comments come as protests continue over a large luxury resort development linked to Trump's son-in-law.

Ongoing protests over the resort project

The demonstrations against the development have now entered their fourth month. Public and activist frustration centers on the resort project, which has been connected to a figure within Trump's family circle — reports on the matter identify the project as linked to Jared Kushner.

Meta blocks protesting accounts

In a related development, technology company Meta has blocked dozens of Instagram accounts belonging to users who had been posting protests against the Kushner-linked Albanian resort project. Those affected say they did not violate any Instagram rules, but instead received copyright infringement notices over content they themselves had filmed or created.

The incident has added to broader debate over how major technology platforms handle content moderation in cases connected to politically sensitive projects tied to influential figures.

The situation in Albania continues to unfold against a wider international political backdrop involving local protesters, US political parties, and international business interests connected to the Trump family.
