WASHINGTON, July 17 (Sputnik) – Under a new order signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the State Department will significantly scale back its public statements on foreign elections, only speaking out when a strong and specific US foreign policy interest is at stake, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing a reviewed memorandum. The memo cites a focus on “national sovereignty,” reflecting the Trump administration’s belief that the past US foreign interventions were misguided, according to the report. The order says to congratulate winners but avoid judging the election’s fairness or legitimacy, the newspaper reported. The newspaper noted that the State Department did not promptly respond to a request for comment.
