US republican presidential nominee Donald Trump remains Prime Minister Hun Sen’s choice in today’s election, and defended his view yesterday after facing criticism over the weekend of his support.
Addressing a student graduation in Phnom Penh yesterday, Mr. Hun Sen spoke of his shock at being criticized for expressing his personal opinion over who might win the tightly-contested US election.
“If [Trump] wins or loses it is the matter of American citizens. I was just doing an analysis [on the election]. I want Trump to win. It is okay if Mrs. Clinton wins because I know her. I have never known Mr. Trump before though,” he said.
He continued that if Mr. Trump, a rich businessman, becomes president it would benefit the global economic situation as well as ties between the US and Russia. In contrast, he warned, Ms. Clinton would continue current president Barack Obama’s policies of antagonizing Russia.
“This is my personal analysis. Why accuse Trump as a dictator and saying most of his supporters such as Hun Sen are dictators?” he said.
He added that he would gather all relevant documents in which he had been criticized for his analysis, and send it to Mr. Trump, regardless of if he wins the election today or not.
On Friday, the exiled leader of the opposition, Sam Rainsy, told local media that Mr. Trump and Mr. Hun Sen shared similar attitudes and said they both exhibited dictatorial behavior. His deputy Kem Sokha took a more even approach the same day, writing on Facebook that neither candidate would allow the US to proceed under “genuine democracy.”
Stocks and the dollar posted their biggest gains in weeks yesterday after the FBI said it stood by an earlier recommendation that no criminal charges were warranted against Ms. Clinton.
The news lifted a cloud over her presidential campaign two days before the election and put Wall Street firmly on track to snap a nine-day losing streak – its longest in more than 35 years.
One of the most striking elements of the campaign has been both candidates’ consistent unpopularity – the highest on record for major-party candidates.
