The Trump
administration explicitly requested that Argentine President Mauricio
Macri delay honoring former Democratic President Jimmy Carter with an
award.
Marci planned to award
Carter the Order of the Liberator General San Martin, the highest distinction
in that country to a foreign person, but pressure from the Trump administration
caused the honor to be delayed.
Carter, who has been a critic of Trump’s
administration, was set to be honored by Argentina with the award which is the
equivalent to America’s Medal of Freedom.
The Mauricio Macri administration reverted a decision to award former US president Jimmy Carter the Order of the Liberator General San MartÃn — the maximum distinction that the country can give to a foreign personality —, under the pressure from US President Donald Trump’s administration, CNN web site reported this week.
The official tribute, which had already been approved by the foreign ministry and was published in the Official Gazette, was cancelled after receiving a specific request by the US government, which would have suggested it would be better to delay it. Carter was to be given the award for his work in promoting human rights during Argentina’s last military dictatorship.
According to CNN, an Argentinean official spoke on condition of
anonymity and said the decision not to carry out the official delivery to Jimmy
Carter was “to avoid conflicts” and to talk about matters of mutual interest
between the two countries.
CNN reports:
The council that studies who to grant the distinction in the Chancellery of Argentina had approved the distinction to the former president for his work for peace and for his contribution to human rights during the dictatorship of Jorge Rafael Videla when Carter was president of the United States.
Trump has never been kind
to his critics.
Carter, on the other hand, is just a soul who, since
leaving office, does charitable work for the needy.
Carter just has an unfavorable view of Donald Trump and that is
apparently too much for the alleged president to handle.
