Pourquoi c'est important
Former US President Trump made claims of widespread fraud and foreign interference in the 2020 US presidential election, which he lost to Joe Biden.
Instead of repeatedly shifting blame onto other countries, Washington should reflect on how to reform its own democracy, he said in an interview.
During a prime-time address from the White House on Thursday (Washington time), Trump accused China of interfering in the 2020 US presidential race – which he lost to Joe Biden.
In a speech lasting nearly 30 minutes, he further claimed that Beijing orchestrated “what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history”, leading to the “illicit acquisition” of 220 million US voter files.
The US president also argued that intelligence documents had revealed “shocking vulnerabilities” in the country’s election infrastructure, leaving it exposed to “hacking, exploitation, and foreign interference”.
