Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy at the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) Richard Grenell wrote in an article for ACLJ page about US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s decision to designate former Albanian President Sali Berisha as ineligible to enter the United States. Blinken’s decision was based on allegations of significant corruption, but Grenell wrote there is no evidence for Mr. Berisha’s corruption. He adds the decision was motivated by US billionaire George Soros, an archenemy of Sali Berisha. Furthermore, Grenell accuses Blinken of acting like e Soros’ agent in the Balkans.

“These U.S. travel sanctions that Blinken has used against Berisha are typically a move reserved for some of the world’s most blatant, evidence-backed violations of international norms and human rights, including that of the likes of Russian oligarchs. Yet Berisha has been a friend to the U.S. and has even been hosted by both Presidents Bush”, Grenell wrote.

“The United States is and will always be a nation governed by law and reason; and these sanctions, absent evidence, serve only to undermine U.S. credibility. Secretary Blinken must provide his supporting evidence if Congress and the American people are to have any faith in Biden’s competence on the world stage. It’s time for Congress to demand the proof about Albanian sanctions that Blinken told us he had. I personally have never seen it, and I concentrated on Balkan issues as Acting Director of National Intelligence”.
