"It is my great honor to accept the CNN Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT in the History of the United States and a true Threat to Democracy, on June 27th. Likewise, I accept the ABC News Debate against Crooked Joe on September 10th. Thank you, DJT!" he stated in the post published on Truth Social platform.

An assassination attempt on the Prime Minister is a threat to everything that has adorned Slovak democracy so far.

With horror, I received the information that Prime Minister Robert Fico became the target of an assassination attempt after a government meeting in Handlova, and during a meeting with people, he suffered gunshot wounds following the attack.

I am horrified by where the hatred towards another political opinion can lead. We don't have to agree on everything, but there are plenty of ways to express our disagreement democratically and legally.

An assassination attempt on one of the highest constitutional officials is an unprecedented threat to Slovak democracy. If we express different political opinions with guns in the squares, and not in polling stations, we endanger everything we have built together in 31 years of Slovak sovereignty.

I wish the Prime Minister a swift recovery and healing. And I earnestly hope that such senseless and brutal acts become the subject of universal condemnation.

“The bottom line is that they can and shall increase their focus on the emerging and developing world which numerically is the vast majority of global markets. One just has to carefully look at what and who is included in the Belt and Road Initiative, BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the African continent, MENA, Mercosur, and the competitive advantages China has proven for more than three decades. I do not think that the global West can seriously compete and win the non-G7 trading world,” Goncharoff stressed.

“Remember that China is the world’s low-cost producer of many of these goods that will be tariffed further by the US. Quite simply it is because China’s been investing in these industries for 20+ years, while the United States has been debating issues like solar power, EV transport, batteries, etc. It is no surprise that they can outcompete both the US and Europe – they have planned, invested, and worked very hard for their competitive edge,” Goncharoff said.

"Contrary to [the assessment of] amateur analysts, the 71 year-old assassin is the perfect assassin for this kind of an operation: they are ideologically prejudiced based on their history, and this is used when targeting individuals who are incapable of change or mental political, adaptation, and are easy to emotionally explode."

“The Prime Minister's health condition is still critical, he is still in surgery and I believe that everything will end well. I keep my fingers crossed and wish a lot of strength not only to him but also to the medical staff who are really fighting for his life in these minutes,” the minister said.

"However, the occupants [Israel] responded to the aforementioned proposal by occupying the Rafah crossing. They [Israel] also made amendments to the proposal, which brought the negotiations to a deadlock,” Haniyeh said in his address.

“What really happened, we will find out in time, but the fact is that there was an incredible hate campaign against Fico in Slovakia and throughout Europe. We will find out whether the assassination attempt is related to this or not, but what happened is almost certainly a consequence of the hatred and information campaign against Mr. Fico. That's absolutely certain. The reason for the hatred was Fico's political position... You know, in the West, differing political positions are punished, punished in different ways. Sometimes they impose sanctions against you, sometimes they shoot at you.”
