The prime minister of Slovenia, the home country of First Lady Melania Trump, has congratulated President Donald Trump on what he described as a clear victory in the U.S. presidential election.
“It’s pretty clear that American people have elected @realDonaldTrump @Mike_Pence for #4moreyears,” Prime Minister Janez Jansa wrote on Twitter on Wednesday morning, as ballots continued to be counted in a presidential race that remained too close to call.
“More delays and facts denying from #MSM, bigger the final triumph for #POTUS. Congratulations @GOP for strong results across the #U.S.,” he said.
Jansa, a conservative politician who leads the ruling Slovenian Democratic Party, has voiced his support for President Trump in the run-up to the election.
Officials are still counting votes in several key battleground states that could decide the outcome of the election.
Twitter placed a notice on this post, which reads, “Official sources may not have called the race when this was Tweeted.”
Her father was a member of the Communist Party, but had his daughter secretly baptized by a Catholic priest.
From the age of 5, Melania worked as a model, first in Slovenia, and then in Milan and Paris, before moving to New York, where she met Donald Trump, a businessman and celebrity 24 years her senior.
Prime Minister Jansa is opposed to mass immigration, and has pledged to build border fences to keep out migrants and boost benefits for families with children.
