An image has been published, with the caption claiming that Donald Trump, the presidential candidate in the United States of America (USA), has threatened that Albin Kurti, the Prime Minister of Kosovo, will be part of the US blacklist.
This content was posted yesterday (October 10) on TikTok by an account named "pograddeccii".
How valid is this claim?
Hibrid.info has found that there is no public statement by former President Trump, or political officials close to him, warning that Prime Minister Kurti will be part of the US blacklist.
Hibrid.info, checking through the "Google" search engine, has found that based on the articles displayed after the search, Trump has no public statement about Prime Minister Kurti (see here).
While former US Special Representative Richard Grenell, who served in this position while Donald Trump was president of the US, has on several occasions publicly commented on Prime Minister Kurti's political actions (see here).
But the articles found show that Grenell never warned of Kurti's placement on the US blacklist.
Analyze:
The claim that Donald Trump has threatened Prime Minister Albin Kurti with being placed on the US blacklist is incorrect.
Hibrid.info has not found any public statement from Trump or people close to him that proves the claim.
