Alternattiva Demokratika Chairperson Prof. Arnold Cassola has written the letter hereunder, to the US Ambassador in Malta, showing its disapproval at measures taken by new US President Donald Trump.

Alternattiva Demokratika also invited Prime Minister Muscat and Opposition Leader Simon Busuttil to express their disappointment at the measures being taken by taken by President Trump.

Prof. Cassola said: "The isolationist, protectionist and confrontational policies being adopted by President Trump not only go against the concept of basic human dignity but even pose a threat to peace and security nearer home, with the risk of increasing migration flows in the Mediterranean as well as encouraging reactions of brutal terrorist organisations operating in the region. Maltese political leaders should sound their worries in unison against some of the senseless decisions being taken by President Trump".

To H. E. G. Kathleen Hill
US Ambassador to Malta

Dear Ambassador,

I would like you to convey to the US government AD's great concern at a number of measures taken by Mr Donald Trump in his first week of Presidency.  These measures spread hatred, foster division and endanger the concept of peace amongst peoples. We will continue to support all peace loving Americans in their fight against these first
senseless decisions taken by President Trump.


Yours Sincerely,

Arnold Cassola
Chairperson
Alternattiva Demokratika - The Green Party
