Malaysia’s Mahathir: ‘I asked Trump to resign to save the US’
- Comments made in response to proposed Israel-Palestine peace deal were not levelled at the American people, the PM told a dialogue of French firms
- He also announced a revised economic growth forecast of 4.5 per cent, citing ‘challenging times’ as the reason for the reduction from an earlier estimate
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad says he called for the resignation of United States President Donald Trump to save America – and that his recent criticism was not levelled at the American people, only at Trump.
“I asked him to resign to save America,” Mahathir said after a dialogue with French firms on Monday, according to The Star newspaper.
On Saturday, Mahathir said Trump had to resign over his proposed Israel-Palestine peace deal, which the Malaysian leader called “utterly unacceptable” and “grossly unjust”.
“This deal will only bring more conflict to the region, and will antagonise billions of people around the world,” Mahathir said at the third conference of The League of Parliamentarians for Al-Quds on Saturday.
