Trump urged to boycott Major League Baseball and eight companies

The former American president, Donald Trump, asked this Saturday to boycott Major League Baseball and the companies Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS and Merck, to follow the example of the “radical left Democrats” that they boycott those who offend them.

In a statement from Save America, a fundraising group for his campaign, Trump said Republicans and Conservatives can better play the same “dirty” game that he believes Democrats play with business and that there are also “many more”.

Without specifying the exact reason why Americans should boycott Major League Baseball and the aforementioned companies, Trump refers to “holy elections.”

In this regard, he says the Democrats “arranged and stole” the presidential elections of November 2020 and, if that weren’t enough, “they are boycotting and frightening companies into submitting them.

“Stop buying your products if they don’t give in,” he says.

Trump concludes with a message asking not to let the radical left destroy the United States.

“We don’t want a socialist nation. Happy Easter”, Trump points to the end.

Since leaving the White House, the former Republican president has resided in Palm Beach (southeast Florida), in his private club Mar-a-Lago, with his family.

Before leaving power, the Facebook and Twitter platforms suspended their accounts because they considered their messages to incite violence.

On January 6, 2020, Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, the seat of Congress, after a rally in Washington in which the then president harangued them into fighting to defend his alleged victory. on Democrat Joe Biden in the election, that same day certified as a winner.

At the training, Joe Biden’s government reported on Friday that it had lifted the sanctions imposed by the administration of former President Donald Trump on the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), calling for a more collaborative relationship.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo there was imposed sanctions and denied visas to outgoing ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda after opening an investigation into alleged war crimes committed by US military personnel in Afghanistan.

The Hague-based tribunal angered the United States again by opening an investigation into alleged war crimes committed by Israel in the Palestinian territories, an American ally who rejects the authority of the ICC.

Pompeo’s successor, Antony Blinken, said the United States remains “in total disagreement” with the measures taken by the ICC.

“However, we believe that our concerns about these cases would be better addressed by involving all stakeholders in the ICC process rather than imposing sanctions “Blinken said in a statement.

Cancel Trump’s measures

The lifting of sanctions is part of the early campaign of the Biden administration to dissolve the Trump-era measures it deems flawed.

On March 30, Blinken officially abolished the maneuver promoted by his predecessor so that the defense of human rights abroad by the United States is limited to causes favored by the conservatives. such as religious freedom and property issues, while ignoring LGBTQ and reproductive rights.

Blinken said a report prepared for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo attempting to reduce the number of priority freedoms in U.S. foreign policy was “imbalance”, did not reflect the policies of President Joe Biden’s administration and will not be used to guide them. The Pompeo Commission report on inalienable rights has been severely criticized by human rights groups.

Secretary of State Blinken also reversed a decision by the Trump administration to remove reproductive rights sections from the State Department’s annual reports on human rights in other countries. “Women’s rights – including sexual and reproductive rights – are human rights”, he stated.

Human rights activists condemned the Pompeo commission report when it was released last year amid a huge fanfare from religious and conservative groups. The report was part of a larger plan by the Trump administration to restore the primacy of what some officials see as the values ​​of the country’s founders.
