One of the closest associates of US President Donald Trump, Mark Burns, ahead of the US elections, gave an interview to the Macedonian news portal “Media.mk” in which he talks about US policy in the Balkans and in Macedonia.

Burns believes that there are serious problems and conflicts in the Balkans for a long time and that President Trump is focused on resolving those conflicts as soon as possible, prioritizing economic and political cooperation in the Balkans where the United States intends to take part in those solutions.

The United States has strategic partners in the Balkans, including Macedonia. Trump is strongly interested in the future of Macedonia, which, through NATO, is at the top of US interests, Burns said.

In the interview, Burns uses the term Macedonia and the Macedonian people and calls on all US citizens of Macedonian descent to vote for Donald Trump, who “needs support now more than ever.”

Pastor Mark Burns is one of the few associates to stick with President Trump from 2015 to the present. He is the President’s key figure in relations with African Americans.
