Donald Trump admits dislike for young, handsome men in odd speech
Donald Trump's recent remarks about Paraguayan President Santiago Peña have sparked discussion online. During a meeting at the White House, Trump referred to Peña as a "young, handsome guy" in what many considered an awkward compliment.
Board of Peace Meeting
The event took place on February 19 and marked the first gathering of Trump's newly formed Board of Peace. This initiative aims to rebuild Gaza after its conflict with Israel, with participating countries pledging $5 billion toward reconstruction efforts.
International Participation
The Board of Peace includes over two dozen countries such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, along with other nations from various regions. The meeting was hosted at the White House, where Trump greeted each leader personally.
The Controversial Remarks
During the meeting, Trump made comments towards Peña that drew criticism, including suggesting he did not like "young, handsome men" and emphasizing his preference for women. These statements quickly circulated online and received backlash for their perceived inappropriateness.
This is not the first time Trump has made similar remarks; he previously praised a Syrian leader using comparable language despite the leader's contentious background.
