Miriam Berger 6 days ago
By custom, most world leaders do not weigh in on U.S. presidential elections, wary of alienating one side or damaging strategic interests by appearing to interfere.
...
Here are some nations with leaders who have bucked the norm and expressed support for Trump.
Hungary Shortly after Trump first accepted the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in July 2016, he was endorsed by Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s right-wing nationalist prime minister.
Brazil Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro endorsed Trump earlier this month, after signing a new trade deal with the United States
Philippines Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte gave Trump’s reelection bid his blessing in February, shortly after ending a long-standing military agreement with the United States.
Serbia The leaders of Serbia and Kosovo, the independence of which Serbia does not recognize, met with Trump in September and agreed to normalize economic ties. Although the deal is short of fully restored relations, U.S. diplomats called it “a first step.”
Slovenia The prime minister of Slovenia endorsed Trump in a tweet on Friday, adding the birthplace of first lady Melania Trump to the clique of countries with leaders who have sided with the incumbent.
