MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The foreign minister has chosen to voice his opinion on the US billionaire’s controversial proposals after Trump put into question the collective solidarity of NATO, which is the founding basis of the alliance, Brende added.
"Many of the comments that Donald Trump has made create unrest… Trump has made statements about women and minorities that we do not need and that do not belong in the 21st century," Brende told the NRK broadcaster in an interview on Monday.
Trump has been widely criticized for his controversial statements, including in relation to women, immigrants and Muslims, promising to build a fence on the southern border with Mexico if elected president.
The US presidential election is scheduled to take place on November 8.
