The US Secret Service has acknowledged the rejection of requests for increased security for former President Donald Trump, the New York Times reports, citing a statement by the agency’s spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.
“The Secret Service acknowledged on Saturday that it had denied requests for additional federal resources requested by President Donald Trump’s security detail in the two years before the assassination attempt,” the New York Times writes.
As the newspaper notes, Anthony Guglielmi emphasised that the requests to strengthen Trump’s security detail did not relate specifically to the event in Pennsylvania where the former White House chief was shot.
In addition, he noted that in cases where the Secret Service could not allocate additional forces to guard Trump. Instead, it sent to him law enforcement officers of individual states, local entities or changed security plans so as to reduce the threat to the life of the former US President.
We will remind, earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Western ideas of the new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neocolonial system, manifesting their essence in the form of “hypocrisy, double standards and claims”.
