First, hibrid.info researched the origin of the image used, through “Google Lens”. The descriptive summary of AI Overview and the displayed results showed that there is no official or verified data from major news organizations or official statements indicating that Trump spoke in that way about Kurti (see here).
Subsequently, his personal Facebook and TruthSocial accounts were researched (see here and here), but in recent days' posts, no posts were found confirming Trump's alleged statement.
Neither of the posts on the White House website confirmed what was claimed (see here).
The search continued on the Google search engine, researching the alleged direct statement and Trump's general stances on Kurti (see here and here).
Search results did not show any articles confirming Trump's alleged stance.
Hibrid.info has found similar positions, which have been previously expressed by other American officials, such as former envoy Gabriel Escobar, who emphasized that despite challenges in bilateral relations, support for the people remains unwavering (see here).
Also, in the official announcement of the US Embassy in Pristina (on September 12, 2025), which announced the suspension of the Strategic Dialogue due to the actions and statements of the acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti that increased tensions, it simultaneously emphasized the permanent commitment to common interests with the people of Kosovo (see here).
However, except for cases where Trump speaks about Kosovo, presenting it as a place where he has stopped the conflict with Serbia, no source has been found that confirms that he has publicly declared during his second term about our country within the framework of bilateral relations between the two states (see here).
