A sentence spoken in good humor, in the spirit of friendship, suddenly becomes a world headline of an entire summit involving dozens of nations, while everything else\u2014the real substance\u2014becomes irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"893\" data-end=\"1255\">But yes, it was very entertaining today to be with my old friend Ilham Aliyev and, in the presence of our dear mutual friend Emmanuel Macron, to refer to President Trump\u2019s mistake when he said that even Albania had managed to make peace with Azerbaijan\u2014while Emmanuel himself had tirelessly worked for a long time to bring peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1257\" data-end=\"1832\">A light remark, a friendly moment. Of course, it is not a problem if it spreads, but to distort it into political poison is simply unfair. So let\u2019s clarify the situation: The truth is that President Trump has proven himself as a leader who restored the word \u2018peace\u2019 to the vocabulary of the West after many years. And yes, in an extraordinarily short time, he achieved peace where others tried but failed\u2014and he continues to pursue it tirelessly. That exchange was nothing but a good-humored moment among people who, in fact, are among President Trump\u2019s greatest admirers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Edi Rama has reacted to the attention given by some foreign media to the joke he exchanged in Denmark with French President Emmanuel Macron regarding former U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s slip about Albania.
